Things I would like to see in a K4:
Fix the Pin One Problems on the I/O board and front panel mic input and
ditch the transformers, which are not required if proper bonding is
implemented in the station.
Pure Signal.
Greatly improved noise reduction. The best I've ever heard was
demonstrated to me by former neighbor NR0V (author of Pure Signal) in
software he wrote for ANAN SDR radios -- it is an order of magnitude
better than anything I've ever heard.
Ethernet and USB interface for audio and control.
I/Q output.
Improved P3 functionality -- greater amplitude resolution, ability to
interface with contest logging software like N1MM. It would be great to
have the electronics inside the transceiver, with output to a computer
monitor.
Maintain the small footprint, keep the spectral display in a separate
box if necessary to make it fit so that it can be above, on either side
of the radio, or even somewhere else. All of this can be very important
in making a lot of functionality fit on an operating desk. My P3s sit
on top of the K3s.
As much as possible support for remote operation built in.
73, Jim K9YC
