In a lot of ways it’s a no-win situation. Data guys want mo’ data stuff and changes to existing features. Moon bounce weak signal guys want something else. Something doesn’t work right for one mode used by a few. CW guys will want something else. A few don’t like the size of the cabinet. And then there’s the location of the notch. Etc. Everyone seems to have a personal want list depending on their personal interest and real or perceived faults in the radio.
Bill (if your name is Bill, don’t take it personally, please) wants something done one way, Joe wants it done some other way, and John doesn’t like either one. No matter what is done, someone will be unhappy or find yet one more “inexcusable” design choice or engineering “error” and find a few other people on the list who agree with him, as we split into armed camps over some issue or other that will prevent the apparently unforgivable requirement to actually turn a knob or make a conscious decision to change a parameter. Why would SSTV decode on the P3 be “off track”? It would be an interesting feature, in any case. If someone suggests something, 20 people chime in with “that’s nonsense’, followed immediately with their own “essentials” or gripe list which likely at least in part is just as much nonsense to others. Design by committee doesn’t always yield a very good design. One more curmudgeonly opinion, from someone who is simply happy that the whole thing works and is blessed with appendages expressly designed to manipulate buttons and knobs … ;) Grant NQ5T On Aug 18, 2014, at 12:34 PM, david Moes <dm...@nexicom.net> wrote: > add me into the per mode group. and auto reference level would be cool > ______________________________________________________________ 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
