[Elecraft] New Product speculation
1.) A full SO2R box that seamlessly integrates 2 K3S radios with all the necessary cabling fully shieldied with minimal problems interfacing with N1MM+. 2.) A band pass filter solution from 160-10 with auto switching controlled with full automation by either pressing the band switch buttons on different K3S or by clicking the Icon on N1MM+. Yeah I can dream. Right now i have the MK2R+. Nice unit but really a bit of a pain to routwall the cables necessary for the control of 2 rigs. Because of the interface problems, I am looking at the Flex 6600 as a one box solution and using the K3S as a back up rig. I have been underwelmed at the 6300 as a CW radio, but it has been some years since i sat at one and maybe the software is fixed better. Time will tell. In the end, The cost of a second K3S/P3 is the same as the FLEX. $5k either way. I am getting ready to retire and will be shopping hard for that final radio for contesting full time. Money is drawing intrest in the bank and i am just waiting for the reviews. Unfortunately the Icom 7610 is not an option, even though i do love the ICOM line, it just does not have the performance necessary for a CW radio in a high RF environment. I would not be much better off buying 2 7300s and puting them with the MK2R+. Unfortunately the selectivity and desensing is the issue. They sure do sound good on SSB but if i wanted broadcast audio i would be running Antique Modulation. Just my 2 sense.

[Elecraft] New Product Speculation
No need to add the Maestro - the latest M-suffix rigs already have that functionality built-in: http://www.flexradio.com/amateur-products/flex-6000-signature-series/flex-6400/ John AE5X https://ae5x.blogspot.com __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Sounds like the current Flex and Maestro.

[Elecraft] New Product Speculation
Howdy Gang. My prediction for a new Elecraft product is the K4. A full sized/featured 160M-6M SDR transceiver with at least an 8” front panel Hi-Res touchscreen with the ability to display multiple slices of several different bands at once with separate RX and TX capability. Or perhaps a Black Box with the same capabilities with the above Front Panel display with controls as a separate unit. WI-FI/Bluetooth connectivity between the two so you can use the Front Panel unit remotely in your bedroom or car operating mobile. I’m ready to lay out the deposit (grin). Guess I can dream, can’t I?

[Elecraft] New Product Speculation
Let the rumors / guess's begin on what will be announced at Dayton/Xenia. Maybe an External/remote antenna tuner that can be mounted outdoors that communicates with a K3(s) or KX3 and follows along like the K3(s)/KAT-500 does. Two versions, 500 watt and 1500 watt so it can handle a KPA-500 or KPA-1500. It also needs to be able to handle coax as well as open line.
