Ogg: Re: [Elecraft] Mouse-n-Click QSY
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.

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.
