Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Display Technologies
Regarding the discussion of the display on the K3, not that anybody asked, but I'm solidly in the "I want a larger radio and display" camp. Perhaps you could design an interface for the K3 that would let someone hook it up to a 22 inch LCD monitor. Why stop at a 22" monitor? What about one of those nifty 50" jobs? Actually, I've no doubt that "cost" is one of the reasons the K3 doesn't have a large LCD display. I haven't any idea what they cost, but considering that you can buy a computer monitor very cheaply, considering the size, it would have been a great way to take the K3 design - the current display, and a supercharged DVI output to allow dumping expanded operating parameters to a screen (and a panadaptor output, when that time comes) that could accommodate it. Not like this would be revolutionary, but it would be nice. In any event, I don't have the training to do hardware/RTOS development. I do financial (specifically, bill payment) programming and development. I know the "Yeah, but you can take the K3 portable argument", and that's all well and good, but I don't tend to schlepp my rigs around. Neither do I...but I live in a very small house. My shack is pretty small: 11 X 12. I've got the computer, printer, the ham station (2 HF rigs planned, a Kenwood TS-790A for V/UHF, an HF amp, a 2M brick amp, plus power supplies for the above and a Henry 3006 for 6M work) and filing cabinets all jammed in here. I wish it was 3 times larger. As it is now, I can't have a visitor sit down and hang out with me.
