[Elecraft] K4?

[Doug Turnbull]

Wayne,
    Upgradeable, God I like Elecraft and might I add modular is also very
nice so that one can gradually grow the rig to meek pocketbook and needs.

The trick is to provide a full complement of "hard" controls for functions
accessed most frequently, "in the heat of battle," as they say, while
leveraging the touch screen for its versatility. 

Touchable fields can be added as a backup/shortcut to hard controls. A touch
screen inherently offers immediate context-sensitive feedback and in many
cases reduced time/effort. Examples include signal selection, zooming, etc.
Zooming should also be done right, by resampling at narrower resolution --
is shouldn't just be a "blow-up" of the original pixels, as implemented on
some existing radios.

Ultimately, get what you pay for. That said, current prices for "high-end"
super-radios are ridiculous; they're two to four times higher than
necessary. Not only that, they're not configurable or upgradeable. Very
un-Elecraft like.
