modern/improved/upgraded as I wish - by choosing which upgrades I wish

Yep. Some circuit improvements, shielding to reduce birdies, real viscous

Looking forward to seeing what they've done.

I think any new Elecraft radio is going to be cutting-edge DSP. Consider
how good the KX3 is. Its DSP hardware is chosen for its low power
requirements - not for maximum performance. So imagine a radio designed
