[Elecraft] K4 Questions

[n4cc at windstream.net]

I have a couple questions regarding the K4 and K4HD - perhaps for
Wayne/Eric.

1.	I understand that the K4HD will have a selectable feature that would
allow it to use either the direct sampling or the superhet front end.   If I
had a K4HD, why would I ever want to switch from the better superhet front
end to SDR - assuming I already own all the filters?
2.	Will there be a "K4 mini"?  I know I could operate remotely from a
PC, etc. but would prefer the "real radio" feel with knobs, a plug in
paddle, etc. and having the panadapter screen in the mini would be a plus?
I use a K3 mini now but not with a P3.
3.	My primary station is built as a remote station in FL in partnership
with Paul-W9AC.  We use Verizon 4G LTE for internet and are limited to 30 GB
of data per month (without upcharge).  How data intensive is the K4 with the
panadapter in remote operation versus the K3S -- assuming it would be
controlled with a K4 mini or another K4 to get the panadapter feature??
(Forgive me if I'm not asking the question correctly, but I think you'll
understand my intent.)

Thanks.  73, Greg-N4CC
