[Elecraft] Icom IC-7300

[Chris Hallinan]

I'll add my $0.02.  I'm not a huge fan of touch screen for the same reasons
John mentions.  However, I would surely welcome a more modern color screen
on my K3.  Maybe even a few programmable touch buttons in a similar fashion
to the buttons across the bottom of the P3.

Hey, we all bought into the Elecraft performance story, and voted with our
dollars.  But who wouldn't want a more modern look and feel, which by
definition means a color graphics screen. That sentiment has been echoed
before on this list, and I'm a newbie here, less than a year.

Here's a crazy idea: Take the P3 display and put it into the K3.  And then
I wouldn't have to purchase a separate unit just for a panadapter.  I bet
I'm not alone when I say my operating space has much competition for prime
desktop real estate!!!  The idea of a separate standalone panadapter is
pretty "old school" ;)  What modern high performance rig doesn't have one
built in?  Don't bash me on that, I voted with my $$$, I'm a proud K3/P3
owner.  But I can have a wish list, can't I?  ;)
