Even Rob Sherwood says his list isn't the only way to evaluate radios. And the
last time I checked, he uses ICOM.
There is a market for a "K4" although Elecraft will deny that one is being
designed, no doubt. They said the same about a higher power amp, remember? Now
they are shipping KPA1500s.
A desktop radio would have room for some desperately needed ergonomic
improvements. A tuning knob that doesn't rely on a felt washer to set dial drag
for example. Fifty-volt finals that have decent TX IMD performance unlike the
current abysmal IMD. This is a pet peeve of mine. What good would it do to brag
about RX third-order IMD performance if all of the signals on the band were from
other K3(S)?
I have a whole list; when Elecraft is ready for me to beta test a K, I'm
available.

When your topline rig are is at or near the top of Rob Sherwood's list of the
best receivers and of the cleanest CW transmitters tested by ARRL, and your
super-portable rigs give most desktop rigs a run for their money on
performance, and when you've got first-rate power amps at the 100w, 500W, and
1,500W level, it's hard to justify the argument for a new transceiver.

I asked Eric if there were any new products and he said just the new amp
and the little portable antenna.
