I was going to make the suggestion for a rig with out knobs.
All of my current equipment is rack mounted. I operate with software
and a mouse. Keeps the desk uncluttered and the monitor below eye
level. The K3 Remote could be used if one wanted knobs.

Me too. After I determined some years ago that my then-new K3 was actually
working, I gave my Yaesus away - both of them. I haven't missed them since.
My backups are now a pair of K2s at one QTH and a KX3/KXPA at another.
I suspect many though not all of the capability changes - as opposed to the
ergonomic changes - proposed in this thread could be implemented without
changing the box. If there were one additional item on my list it would be
having an internal keyer that would make external logging programs redundant.
And the NR system . . .
Apart from that, and apart from my own ergonomic preferences, I am willing to
bet that whatever comes next isn't a bigger box but rather the other way
around. I have heard the K3/S described more than once as an SDR with knobs.
Maybe. But my bet would be , if there is a K4 or some such, it will be an SDR
without knobs. Any takers?

My experience is quite different. From the beginning (in 2008), I found
the user interface very well thought out. Maybe that's because I started
by RTFM.? Everything I need while operating is on the front panel. The
menus are organized so that they are almost never needed during
operation except to fix a setting that was wrong in the first place. I
can't remember the last time I needed to go into menus for anything but
setup with new outboard equipment.
My K3s replaced a pair of FT1000MPs. Everything about the K3 performance
and user interface is far superior. AND the change freed up a LOT of
space on my operating desk!
