[Elecraft] KX1 Replacement?

[Bryan Nehl]

Rob,
My sentiments are with you.  I'd like to see a KX4? that's a return to the roots (sort of) of the KX line.Specs as mentioned above, CW only, same paddle mount as KX2/3, AGC, and good display.  I want something like: https://www.ebay.com/itm/DCW-1-3-BAND-DIGITAL-QRP-TRANSCEIVER-HAM-RADIO-with-ATU/182773034445?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649  But, I don't want a knock-off and I want it as a kit.  
Configured with the same screen and menus/controls as a KX2/3 (where it makes sense) and adding a KX2/3 becomes that much easier.

 Is there any chance that Elecraft will come up with something to replace the
KX1?  I am not aware of anything else on the market that fits this niche.
The closest are probably the various excellent KD1JV rigs.  Following are
some things I like about the KX1:

 

*    Autotuner
*    Up to 4-bands
*    Knobs for tuning, etc. - I really like the filter knob!
*    Very Low Power consumption
*    Small & lightweight
*    Through-hole kit construction

 

Building the KX1 was a joy & I still get a thrill every time I turn it on.
It is a great rig.  Perhaps with a full frequency display (LCD?) & a full 5
(or 10!) watts of power it could be even better.
