[Elecraft] IC-7300 video - things to come

I agree, similarly with an Elad, not my choice BUT there is always the possibility some feature or other may be a popular item Elecraft can look at implementing in future FW and/or hardware.
Competition drives innovation and that is good for all parties.
Touch screen is not likely to be something I want in my radio but there IS a market for it no doubt. I just smile when I imagine a mobile with a touch screen, driving along, your contact asks you to go up 5 or something. I know I would end up either going somewhere I didn't expect or going off planet.....a bump in the road would be my downfall I reckon.

Actually, this does effect Elecraft users. There may be some good ideas 
that we will want to see incorporated on future Elecraft products. For 
example, the use of a touch screen for a lot of its controls. I do not 
care for touch screen myself, but it is the sign of the times on many 
things and lots of folks are very comfortable with the concept.

I did not intent to raise any ire over this post.
