Elecraft's design philosophy is based on efficiency and portability. If an 8 inch screen could be made to be efficient enough to use in the filed, I see no reason why Elecraft couldn't incorporate it into a new rig. However, I don't think you're going to see Elecraft doing what every other company is doing. I for one don't want a transceiver dependent on a computer, like the Flex, or a 55 pound behemoth like the IC7600 or Kenwood TS990, etc. Lot's of people do, and those radios are available to them. I don't think Elecraft is going to make one, though.

I'm guessing the K4, or whatever Elecraft decides to call the new rig, will be fully "modern," but stick with Elecraft's design and performance principles. I have no idea what that will entail, but I'd bet we'll see lots of modularity and terrific performance.
