I note that Harry went from Elecraft to Japanese radios, Flex and Anan. I
presume he means the Flex M radios and the newly released Mk 2 Anan which do
have knobs while the predecessors do not.
I thought about my recent usage of my K3. After pressing the power button, I
set the output power

Hi Wayne.
I am expecting to buy a new radio next year so good discussion on the K4.
I expect to use my current upgraded K3 both at home and in the field,
perhaps at a field day event so high dynamic range is good. At home we

voice recognition software applications that run on Linux. No idea how
You forgot to mention that "miracle of control" called the K-Pod.
Without it, I would be chasing the K3 with a mouse via HRD (mouse or
K-Pod sits on the edge of my desk within easy reach). I prefer to run
without being tethered to a computer.
A few extra buttons on the K-Pod would be great,

Hi Buddy et al,
We've definitely been thinking about this.
There's a paradigm shift going on in transceiver design, and we reached a point
where we needed to embrace it. This shift is not entirely aligned with
