[Elecraft] Will there be a K4

[kevinr]

Hi Eric,

    I think one feature would be a built in single board computer.  One 
with enough horse power to run a Linux OS.  It needs a 1000 baseT 
connection to the outside world so it can act as another server on your 
home network.  The advantage being you could write all the necessary 
drivers from the radio to the network in house.  Then let independent 
developers write code which links between their code on the K4 and their 
code on your desktop.

Since there are ever more digital modes Elecraft can be on the forefront 
by offering high level APIs for external development. Offloading some of 
the work from Elecraft's standard mix of MCUs would allow you more 
freedom to solve more problems.

    Just a random thought while cooking,

       73,  Kevin.  KD5ONS
