[Elecraft] Will the K4 look like this?

[lstavenhagen]

Interesting, but I would have the following concerns just right off the bat:
- looks huge and therefore possibly fragile. Would it be able to stand up to
/p and dxpedition shipping/handling?
- oh lordy the bugs, the bugs.... An entire computer inside a rig could also
be a really buggy affair, and a LOT of software development/support
infrastructure required at Ele.
- the touch-screen issue that has been the subject of other threads.
Restraint and careful design would be required.

So those would be the negatives I would worry about off the top of my head.
As for the positives, neat idea! Eliminating the external computer I think
would be a great idea. An opportunity might exist for a happy medium in the
"K4"?
