The "King of SDR" computer driven radios is coming out with a box with
knobs. Perhaps lesson learned that everyone does not like those touch
sensitive, menu driven, color display radios. Besides, why rely on a
computer to run your transceiver when it can be done easily as a
standalone device when no computer is available or desired.
I have tried tuning with a mouse wheel and clicking on a display with
several rig software applications, and I think tuning with a real knob
is a lot more convenient and satisfying to me.

be available by the end of the year. A completely software-defined
radio. Looks like a real game-changer.
While the K3S is a nice upgrade, I think the tide is slowly shifting
to touch sensitive, menu-driven, color displays.
I certainly hope the Elecraft is looking at this and considering its
implications.
