I really liked ALL of the elecraft presentations, and most of the others. Wayne's had a particularly intimate feel to it, which was very different, whereas Eric's was still great, just a more formal, polished approach. Dave's journey into the classic line was very entertaining.
I am very frustrated that the K4 Q&A hasn't been posted. The FT units are out there, but we still don't have any idea, really, if the K4 will be the K400lb elephant in the room, or a really good rig that is just the K point on a ski jump with a superb user interface. Is it worth two 7610s? Will PureSignal become a reality soon, or a wish sandwich likeFlex? Is the promised superb NR and NB going to happen? Why not an informal tour of a FT unit being used? Show us the operation, not just the features. Did I hear Eric say the control of a K4 from a tablet, promised at Dayton, will now be done by some third party through API's provided by Elecraft? I heard Eric say a lot of "we hope to's in re the K4's Vhf/Uhf board and other things. I know you can't preannounce future features, but put some sticks in the ground! Commit to a 2m board--there are many times more 2m weak-signal ops--and big guns--than 70cm ops. Finally, there should be a commitment to intelligent fan control for the KPA1500 while I'm whining. Even QC25s don't quiet the RF deck fans. Other amps do it. I thought navigation from the virtual hanfest was terrible--at least from a smart phone. Why make it an Adventure game? Hyperlink the list of speakers to their presentation--forget the track rubrick. My voice has been heard on that issue. My 2 sheets of lettuce. 73 Eric WD6DBM ______________________________________________________________ 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
