It is may be time to rethink the display. The functionality added
through the years has resulted in display of certain settings is pretty
obscure (e.g. flashing decimal point is supposed to mean something)
The difficulty may be display size constraints. Lacking a bigger
display, it would mean even smaller letters et al. That isn't a good
idea. Given the creativity of Elecraft engineers, perhaps the current
display size could still work.

John mentions. However, I would surely welcome a more modern color screen
on my K3. Maybe even a few programmable touch buttons in a similar fashion
to the buttons across the bottom of the P3.
Hey, we all bought into the Elecraft performance story, and voted with our
dollars. But who wouldn't want a more modern look and feel, which by
definition means a color graphics screen. That sentiment has been echoed
before on this list, and I'm a newbie here, less than a year.
Here's a crazy idea: Take the P3 display and put it into the K3. And then
I wouldn't have to purchase a separate unit just for a panadapter. I bet
I'm not alone when I say my operating space has much competition for prime
desktop real estate!!! The idea of a separate standalone panadapter is
pretty "old school" ;) What modern high performance rig doesn't have one
built in? Don't bash me on that, I voted with my $$$, I'm a proud K3/P3
owner. But I can have a wish list, can't I? ;)

While I think touch screen technology is neat, and perhaps faster, my main
complaint is the screen is always filthy with finger oils. Yes I can wipe
it off, but experience with an AVmap GPS, my Galaxy 5, an Ipad and a
Windows 8,1 laptop tells me that touch screen is not always the best
solution. I like my screens clear and clean because if sun or incandescent
light hits at an angle it is difficult to read when full of smudges.
