Do NOT "Nanny State" the design of the radio....  As a compromise, put in a firmware option that turns the panadapter OFF while the vehicle is in motion or something like that.  But even THEN, make it where the OWNER of the radio may affirmatively take action to disable this nanny-state-like "feature".  SOME folks are trained for and perfectly capable of driving and operating radios at the same time....

May I suggest that any Mobile (meaning mounted in a vehicle) transceiver NOT have a touchscreen or panadapter. It can create additional distracted driver problems, and we have enough of that already with automotive touchscreens, navigation systems, and the like.

I for one do not operate mobile - my eyes and attention need to be on the road and not some device in the vehicle.

It is interesting to know: will Elecraft issue a mobile version - KX4?
