I think that the K3+P3+KPA500= the mythical K4 Elecraft probably wouldn't have invested a bunch of money in building a line of gear around the K3 only to introduce something else. But, I could be wrong. Having acquired the "K Line," I'm not much interested in a "K4." I'm also not much interested in shoving a stick into anyone's eyes because of their choice of gear. The FT-5000 series are great radios- they're great performers, look nice and are expensive. I bought the K3 because for me, the entire "K Line," including a well configured used K3, the KPA500 kit and a used P3 only cost about $200 more than a base FT-5000. I don't really worry about anything that FT-5000 owners might have to say.
