I agree. If there were a few HEO birds in the sky, maybe that sliver of the market which is not happy with either DC-to-daylight rigs or transverters would be large enough for someone (hopefully Elecraft) to produce such a rig -- I'd love to have one. But for now....
Personally, I'd like to see the continued improvements in the K-line (and market pressures) lead to a K4 -- say starting with a K3, adding a USB3 interface for CAT control, FSK+CW keying, onboard sound interface, and P3-like video output, perhaps expanded to dongle-like DC-to-daylight receive. Maybe an HDMI-out option for external video and sound display, or even (using either regular Ethernet or Ethernet-over-HDMI) optional integrated remoting. While I'm OK with 100W out, I wouldn't mind energy being spent on a 200W option. And yes, maybe support for two or three onboard transverters, perhaps eventually releasing optional 222, 432, and/or 900MHz modules in addition to 2m, if enough VHF/UHF demand could be found. Hey, I can dream. :) -- Michael / N1EN KE8G wrote: > Hi All, > As for me, I say no. > > I would rather have the folks at Elecraft invest their talents and time, in > making > the continued improvements in the K3, P3, KPA500 & KAT500. > > Just my .02 worth! ______________________________________________________________ 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
