[Elecraft] Will there be a K4?

[Barry]

I'm easy. All I want is the I&Q stream available on the back of the 
radio as it is on the KX3 while keeping the IF output. That opens up a 
number of options that I now use work arounds for.

>7.  On-board panadapter.  Touch-sensitive screen is not all that desirable.  I much prefer soft keys.  Keeps the PBJ off the screen.

>8.  A kit version, as much as feasible.
