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.

for the K4...
