[Elecraft] Is K4 talk verboten?

The single most important feature that would get me to spring for a K4 
would be advanced noise abatement controls. I have little idea how the 
NR & NB work, but strictly from the user standpoint instead of scrolling 
through a small assortment of fixed presets I envision several 
continuously variable controls that would allow us to adjust the several 
noise limiting parameters. Perhaps having some kind of graphical display 
showing a dimensional representation of the noise parameter space and 
the noise itself would help in zeroing in on the best noise reduction...
