Re: [Elecraft] 4k monitors for the shack, late 2019
You may want to try cheap 4k tv... Some under $200... Several under $280... Some use dc connector. I was going to try a couple and see... If they are ng then return... For nongamers these should be fine... Under $200 means no roku or other bells and whistles Seen nonham reviews that indicate picture ok... Tv's seem to be rca and Chinese off labels For monitors LG and Samsung seem ok On Thu, Nov 7, 2019, 15:01 Clay Autery wrote: > > > One word ASUS. > > > > Asus has a huge line of monitors...many with external power supplies > giving you the option to put them on a linear DC supply... > > > > > > > > > > > > > On Nov 7, 2019 at 14:47, Toxwrote: > > > > > > Hello all, I'm going to continue to eagerly await a K4 for A While.

Re: [Elecraft] Will there be a K4
Touch screens on something in the K3 form factor are of little use... Also own 7100 and that screen is troublesome to use and makes me wish I had gone with K3X and another separate 2m/440 FT8 mode would mean many firmware updates plus not clear how you get all the useful display information... it would just be trouble and not really worth it in the radio. Unlike PSK or RTTY where it is more obvious which signal is being worked... the flexible channel like behavior is just too much for the radio form factor... I like big screens and I just cant deny Rick "The Rhino" N6RNO @San Benito October 6-7 2018 Where will you be? http://www.cqp.org On Mon, Mar 25, 2019 at 3:12 PM Jim Brown wrote: > On 3/25/2019 1:55 PM, Raymond Sills via Elecraft wrote: > > I'm sure that having FT8 as a choosable mode in a K4 would be a popular > idea. > > I think it's a terrible idea, if for no other reason that Joe Taylor's > modes have always evolved over the years to make them better.
