The August issue of CQ Magazine (page 57) mentioned that QRP Guys will soon
be releasing a QRP transceiver kit designed for digital modes with plug-in
band modules. I emailed them asking when orders might begin being taken and
was told that they're still working on it.

If someone needs a PSK 20 or 80 Jon, n...@charter.net told me last night he has
both unbuilt kits. He may be willing to part with them. We were discussing
the unbuilt kits we have stuck away in drawers and cupboards.

http://crkits.com/ D4D DSB and a Raspberry Pi 4B maybe? Just got mine to
build. Might need a LP filter addition to keep it right.

Yeah, I had never noticed that button over to the far left. My mistake.
And I've received probably a dozen similar suggestions on how to
accomplish the same thing with multiple pieces of gear, which wasn't my
thought at all. I'm sorry I brought it up.

First off, since when does WSJT-X not have a band change function?
Your idea is fun to think about, but you can get darn close with a
Raspberry Pi hooked up to your K3 or KX3 or whatever, remote controlled
from your smart phone via VNC.

SDR radios don't require the entanglement of cables and can be quite
portable. I have two - the mcHF and the older Apache Labs Anan-10e. Only
one ethernet cable connects them to a small laptop for any/all modes.
6-160m with the Anan; 10-80 with the mcHF.
Hopefully the KX4 will have this efficiency
Whoever designs such a radio could save a few bucks by not putting a speaker
in it.

Sorry, try again.
There was a fellow on the Facebook KX2 group who described an WSJT setup
consisting of a KX2, RPi3 and an iPad. Pretty slick and light weight and with a
little repackaging could be an all-in-one.

You’d probably end up with a computer anyway (except perhaps for portable
operations) to do all the functions other than the ones that WSJT handles. For
example, I check propagation, point my antenna, receive cluster and RBN spots,
maintain a log of tens of thousands of QSOs in various modes and
WSJT-X does, in fact, provide a way to do band changes without touching the
radio.
There's a pull down menu on the main window just to the left of the
frequency. Click the little down arrow on that box, select the band, and
the radio will follow. The Frequencies tab under Files..Settings menu must

ever come out with a dedicated all-in-one notebook-sized portable rig
for the FT-type digital modes. I'm pretty new to FT8/4 but I find it
interesting that when I'm operating it all I ever do with my K3 is turn
it on and
