[Elecraft] K4 standing on Sherwood's RX list

[Scott Manthe]

Where a particular rig lands on "The List" isn't the only consideration. 
The K4 seems improved in a number of ways beyond its raw performance 
compared to the K3. It is a more modern design (direct sampling) with 
the ability to add extra features as needed. I'm not sure I'll be 
upgrading soon, but the package is a lot nicer and the interface 
improvements (band stacking, etc.) seem to be a real step forward.
