Just love pronouncements as the concrete hardens around them! 😉 "640
kB should be enough for everyone."*Â "At very best, the worldwide market
for a computer like this will be six or seven."**Â "The K3s is a dead end."
A "dead end" road stops. It no longer works as a road. The
functionality of my K3 [#642 with new synth, gen coverage BPF] continues
and will continue until something breaks. It's not a dead end.

The K3 and K3S are dead ends --- they are frozen at their present
capabilities. The K4 is a partially filled canvas that can improve over
time. For example, the K4s I hear on the air still have, like the K3xs,
that ugly popup in the unwanted sideband. They compare in this respect
unfavorably with the lowly IC-7300. But the K4 will someday possess
predistortion and consequently a pristine transmitted SSB signal. Unlike
its predecessors, the K4 has an unlimited future. That's the nature of a
full SDR.
