Is the Banjo tuner menu driven? It should be accessible from the front
panel.

Re: K4?

In reply to this post by TJ Campie

Such renderings are very useful. I think it was done very nicely. I
would personally place my order the instant I heard such a version was
available. I might add the ability to switch bands with a single button
push like many other rigs do, as well as triple band stacking. But a
fully integrated transceiver is very enticing. I would like to see 200+
watts out and possibly a built in power supply.

I'm sure Wayne and Eric have considered (or maybe even ARE considering)
what's next. This would probably be one heck of an undertaking and
perhaps the market is much too limited to support such a model.

Nonetheless, I remain eternally hopeful....

Re: K4?

Before work begins on the K4, I would like to see (after, this is a wish list right?):

1. P3 TX monitoring (although, this is not critically important to me but it is often requested).

2. 2-meter 100-watt amplifier to go along with 2-meter KX3.

3. Distribution Hub.

This thing I am calling a "Distribution Hub" is a small box with at least 4 RS-232 adaptors on it and a processor supporting a host computer network (TCP/IP) interface. This would be used for all Elecraft serial comms. Besides the hardware work of the box itself, there needs to be an established protocol between the box and the host that the utility programs can support.

I can build this myself but if the Elecraft utility programs do not support directly a TCP/IP interface then it is not really a useful thing to me. So, Elecraft should build it.

A cool side affect of this is that it would be easy to make the individual serial ports addressable and have one utility program that works with several devices (the K3 + P3 + KPA500 + KAT500). Having multiple device support would enable a more easy management of firmware updates and parameter settings that are needed across different devices that work together.

Re: K4?

Hi Phil,

Your preaching to the choir mate...:-)

I think the P3 remote sensor has probably been shelved as I have asked
several times directly and never even got a reply so my assumption is this
device has been placed in the too hard basket and perhaps Elecraft see it
as a limited return on investment?

Your hub idea would be a great addition for me, I too would "want one".....

Keep up the squeaking mate, it hopefully will get some oil..:-)
