[Elecraft] K4?

[Jim Brown]

Things I would like to see in a K4:

Fix the Pin One Problems on the I/O board and front panel mic input and 
ditch the transformers, which are not required if proper bonding is 
implemented in the station.

Pure Signal.

Greatly improved noise reduction. The best I've ever heard was 
demonstrated to me by former neighbor NR0V (author of Pure Signal) in 
software he wrote for ANAN SDR radios -- it is an order of magnitude 
better than anything I've ever heard.

Ethernet and USB interface for audio and control.

I/Q output.

Improved P3 functionality -- greater amplitude resolution, ability to 
interface with contest logging software like N1MM. It would be great to 
have the electronics inside the transceiver, with output to a computer 
monitor.

Maintain the small footprint, keep the spectral display in a separate 
box if necessary to make it fit so that it can be above, on either side 
of the radio, or even somewhere else. All of this can be very important 
in making a lot of functionality fit on an operating desk.  My P3s sit 
on top of the K3s.

As much as possible support for remote operation built in.
