Such things are probably doable, Kevin. But the market size issue is likely a major factor mitigating against such a development by Elecraft.

If I were to build a second K2 after all these years, I'd sure want the KDSP2 in it; but that's not something I'm likely to do. My (partly) 17 year old K2 #380 is still working quite nicely and fully upgraded with all Elecraft updates -- and some 3rd party ones, too :-)

When I saw the announcement I wondered about the possibility of new version of the KDSP2 that was based on an FPGA such as a Spartan 6 (for example).

I'm not sure how it would affect the price but it would make the board a little less prone to parts decaying in to the state of unobtanium.
