>>> The display on the K4 is not the same thing I don't think. Even with some keyboard/mouse controls native to the K4 (?) the display size is a deterent to me as it exists.  Apologies to the company. I assume maybe there MIGHT be a video card OUT re. the K4 panadapter at some time, but that is a maybe.. and more money.

If I did get that 'last final rig' and it was  a K4 (Iikely as I don't have much in the shack since 2000 that was not Elecraft) I would, as an older fellow then.. want the larger visual display of the computer/IF out/NaP3 sort of solution.
