There has been discussion here about some kind of external,
intelligent "stunt box" attached to the flexwire port in order to
provide interface to various things, e.g. ALC, antenna rotator
control, etc. Something key to me would be some sort of scripting
language that would become part of PowerSDR to allow people to easily
tie events to actions. The scripting language can even allow things
like ALC level conversion or even transfer function. Think 'CAT'
without the rigidity. (FORTH? Embedded Java? elisp? OK, that's overkill)
I liked Jim Lux's point about ALC not passing through the PC but
instead should reduce drive in the F5K PA directly. That means that
some of the intelligence would have to reside in the uP in the Flex
box itself.
Just a thought.
