Re: [Elecraft] New Product Idea - 2 Meter
Obviously most of you never built something and had to add up the cost! Getting 50-100w multi-mode, multi-band into a KX3 sized package for under $500 - dreamers! It cost nearly that just for the linear amp. I suppose you want the KX3 with 50w amp for the same cost. Not going to happen. Well maybe if its made by wooosengmoo in China (hope I didn't do a swear word). You get what you pay for - if you are lucky! A 144/222/432/902/1296 dual-conversion SDR with 10w output would be a novel idea. Direct IQ I/F via USB3. Make the bands modular slide in cards with separate ANT connectors on the pcb. Make any two bands full duplex so it usable for satellite work. ALL VFO-PLL locked. Cost $2000-2500 and you will have a parade of folks lining up for one. Maybe shoe-horn it into a box 50% of the volume of a K3s with same control area. Add on amplifiers for more power from many sources so no need to reinvent that wheel. 73, Ed - KL7UW http://www.kl7uw.com "Kits made by KL7UW" Dubus Mag business: dubus...@gmail.com __ 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

Re: [Elecraft] New Product Idea - 2 Meter
At the Elecraft presentation that Eric did at Pacificon last year, I threw out this exact idea for his consideration. Given that Elecraft already has the technology to produce tranverters for the K2 and K3 for 2m, 222 MHz and 432 MHz, I suggested a single box to contain all three bands, all modes, and with a minimum of 50 watts output. Eric was receptive to the concept, but said he didn't think that there would be a large enough market for such a transceiver. He's also the business guy with Elecraft, so I have to believe what he said. Submitting the idea to the list a while back, the general consensus seemed to agree, adding that the VHF/UHF weak-signal operator pool is shrinking. The discussion is in the archives. 73 de Jim - AD6CW On 10/14/2015 1:51 PM, Ken G Kopp wrote: An all-mode VHF/UHF, 30 to 50 watt radio in a KX3 - sized box?

H, a K3 version of a Yaesu FT-736? I would be seriously down for that!

If you're going to go multi-band VHF/UHF, including 220 MHz would be very nice.

Re: [Elecraft] New Product Idea - 2 Meter
Excellent idea except for power output a 100w for an all mode would be good but in a K3s cabinet and many of its features.

[Elecraft] New Product Idea - 2 Meter
I humbly submit the following product idea to Elecraft. A two meter all mode radio, encased in the current KX3 body. All the components of this radio are already being made by Elecraft, except for a needed ATU. Suggested price $500. I'd also recommend making it at least 25-50 watts output. If 70cm can be added, so much the better.
