I recently bought a mcHF (a real one, not a clone) and, as much as I like
it, I wish Elecraft would make a similar radio.

The main advantages of a mcHF over anything else out there are its built-in
panadapter and its one-cable connection to a PC for digital modes. No PC
required for SSB, CW or PSK31.

The KX2 and mcHF are of a similar size and are shown together here for
comparison:

Disadvantages of the mcHF - and where an Elecraft (KX4) would shine - are
in support and documentation. I hope we'll see a KX4 soon, with all the
Elecraft advantages and none of the mcHF's shortcomings.
