Dear OMs and YLs, To me this is harsh indeed. Who provides better service for the Ham Radio community? Do we think that we are the directors of Elecraft? For a moment it sounded like the K-Pod was being criticised - well this is worth a lot to me and I have one on each of my K3 radios. Elecraft, I am still a very happy camper when it comes to your product line, service and accessibility. Clearly it is hard to please us all and I imagine these critical e-mails stimulate further design ideas.
I am thankful not to be tied to a PC!!! It will become obsolete. Not many such radios will make it into the Steam Radio Category still being used after twenty let alone fifty years. Well that is my 2 cents. It just surprises me to hear such virulence directed towards an amazing group of engineers with a first class company. 73 Doug EI2CN -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Joe Stone (KF5WBO) Sent: 16 February 2017 17:26 To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Mouse-n-Click QSY When I see Elecraft dodge a trivial firmware change like this year after year, I can't help but wonder if they have ulterior motives. Maybe Elecraft plans to introduce a $250 wired remote control knob. Maybe they hope someday the knob will control the P3 / PX3. Maybe they feel adding a few lines of firmware to enable a $5 wireless mouse will impact the sales of their $250 knob. Maybe they're just busy. When they don't respond to a feature request, it leaves us guessing. This brings me back to my previous thread. We need a more structured approach to tracking Elecraft feature requests (and bugs). We need a record of when Mouse-n-Click QSY was first proposed. Elecraft can come back and say, "The P3 / PX3 is out of firmware memory space." Or, "The P3 / PX3 doesn't have the MIPS to sample IQ, process the 1024-point FFT, update the displays (spectrum and waterfall), field remote-control commands, . AND position a marker based on the delta-X field in a mouse HID descriptor". This disposition will be captured along with the feature request in a central repository for everyone to see, now and forever. In another month or two when someone requests Mouse-n-Click QSY, we can simply refer them to the (now closed) feature request. Ideally, they'd search the feature / bug list first. Clearly, Elecraft isn't interested in maintaining / exposing a list of features and defects raised by their user community. I've received several offers from members willing to host this list. We should have something up and running in a few weeks.
