[Elecraft] Is K4 talk verboten?

[Dauer, Edward]

Three of my four are pretty modest, in addition to the receiver technology updates already mentioned –

 Bluetooth or the equivalent wherever possible in the K4, the P4, the KPod4, the KAT500-4, and the KPA500-4 (and retrofitting updates of the same for the last four of those), to be rid of some part of the rat’s nest that limits flexibility around the operating table.

 A contest serial number capability in the on-board keyer.

 A 250-watt on-board amp option (which might require a 48 volt power supply and concomitant circuitry changes)

 Proprietary Elecraft power supply mounted in a K4-matching speaker box.

    I'm really surprised that I haven't seen this topic overand over on the 
    reflector.? The K3 is getting long in the tooth, the KX3 already 
    incorporates much of the more modern receiver technology, and we know 
    the people at Elecraft aren't sitting around twiddling their thumbs. So 
    unless the topic gets shut down, what would *you* like to see in a K4?
