The single most important feature that would get me to spring for a K4
would be advanced noise abatement controls. I have little idea how the
NR & NB work, but strictly from the user standpoint instead of scrolling
through a small assortment of fixed presets I envision several
continuously variable controls that would allow us to adjust the several
noise limiting parameters. Perhaps having some kind of graphical display
showing a dimensional representation of the noise parameter space and
the noise itself would help in zeroing in on the best noise reduction...

Three of my four are pretty modest, in addition to the receiver technology
updates already mentioned –
Bluetooth or the equivalent wherever possible in the K4, the P4, the KPod4,
the KAT500-4, and the KPA500-4 (and retrofitting updates of the same for the
last four of those), to be rid of some part of the rat’s nest that limits
flexibility around the operating table.
A contest serial number capability in the on-board keyer.
A 250-watt on-board amp option (which might require a 48 volt power supply
and concomitant circuitry changes)
Proprietary Elecraft power supply mounted in a K4-matching speaker box.
