[Elecraft] K4

[Dan Baker]

Yes a new K4 with integrated pan adapter would be cool. But I would not
expect one anytime soon. The K3S is not going be out done in the near
future. What I would like to see is a 30-watt portable rig. When 5 watts is
not enough, 30 watts often is as good as 100 watts. A small 30 watt rig
would be easier to carry then a KX3 and amp or a K3S. Kind of like the old
SGC 2020.  I run my 100-watt rig at 25 watts in the field and it works well
and conserves the battery.  I think there is a void in the market currently
for that type of rig. Elecraft could knock it out of the park if they built
one. All of us have a K3, KX3, KX2 that want one. But none of us have what
I just described.
