Maybe not a K4 but why not a K2A? Not to do a Flex 6000 or whatever but is there a way to replace the current mixer, direct conversion design with an (older, cheaper) direct sampling config? And leave most of the remainder of the design in place. Be a chance to explore some new tech and Elecraft could still keep most of the radio a true kit.
