[Elecraft] K4 video - what display is in use

[Tim Tucker]

 Another example of why having USB-C output on the K4 would be extremely
beneficial. One USB-C cable to the external screen would supply not only
video and power, but could enable touch screen capabilities, allowing the
user to control the rig from the much larger screen if desired.  I'm not
sure if any code changes would even be needed to enable the touch screen
support, since the rig already supports it on its internal screen.

As it stands, you could probably get the touch screen to work using a
USB/USBC adapter, but now you've got 3 cables for that external screen
instead of one.   I really hope Elecraft gets the USB-C upgrade into the
backlog soon.
