I'm now of the opposite opinion. Should there ever be a K4 I would hope for a 2m/70cm rig with the ability to choose modules of 222 MHz, 1.2 GHz, etc. with comparable specs to the K3 and full duplex capable for satellite work. Elecraft has HF through 6m covered (yes, I'm aware of the 2m module which is a "bridge" between the Hfer who wants VHF capability in the K3 and the hard core denizen of the upper spectrum who would go for the K4), IMO, especially with the KX3 entering the pipeline soon. It's time for a superb rig for the upper part of the spectrum. 73, de Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
