Thoughts on this. I would expect the K4 to be a high performance
product in both the on air performance and the communications interface
performance. I would not expect it to have any embedded applications
as there are just to dang many; CW ones, Digital, ones, Logging ones,
and etc. Everybody has there favorites of each of these.
Trying to embed just a few applications raises the question of "what
few?". We all use an outboard computer to do station house keeping. I
say keep it that way and every one can then use their favorite
application. I'd speculate if there were a number of applications
embedded, then Elecraft would have to ship a "crying towel" with every
radio. There are just those folks that seemed not to be pleased,
regardless of what ever it is in front of them. As 'tis said; "one can
please part of the people part of the time and all of the people none of
the time". Lets just keep the radio doing what a radio should do and
the computer keeping the operator happy with what ever application they
so choose.
Happy New Year to all

If Elecraft makes the K4 I&Q data avail in MME format, there will be
no need to implement these on the radio itself. They can all reside on
the computer that is used for control and whatever else. It will be
basically like running with a KX3.
