I recently pulled my TenTec Omni V off the shelf and what a treat to have a
radio that I could clearly see all functions. It is a nice tan/beige color.
My KX3 system sits at an angle so I can see it clearly, but it is in the
house 95% of the time. Remember when most computers were a tan color . I
think it is time for the industry to consider color options. Not like
ordering a car, but just switch out to something more readable. It would be
kinda neat if someone with more computer skills than me would take some

there were a couple of folks painting the Icom 7200 in camo and olive drab.
They looked good. Just my 2 cents on a lighter , more reflective color.

It was a fairly normal dream.  A CW rag chew with weak signals. Then
N6KR came back to me.  After I gave him a 559 on the peaks, I asked him
what was new with him.  I sat back and listened as he told me about the
new Elecraft KX15.  He had been working on the nanobot installed user
interface, so he described that first.  I lost some due to fading but
here's the jist of it from my notes:

The KX15 user interface has a true head up display.  A waterfall appears
in your visual cortex; the control panel is placed wherever you think it
should be.  Audio is injected into your auditory cortex; extra
processing is possible through direct access to your cerebral cortex.
He mentioned this was the perfect interface for hearing or visually
impaired operators.  There is also an optional haptic interface for
inveterate knob twiddlers.

Ordering and setup is simple.  Send Elecraft a sealed sample of your
DNA.  They use it to program your personal set of nanobots. You receive
a bag of raw materials with the preprogrammed machines.  Lie down with
the raw materials placed nearby.  The nanobots induce sleep during the
one hour build time.  They enhance pathways to the visual, auditory, and
cerebral cortex areas of your brain.  When that part of the process is
complete the nanobots awaken you for your training session.  They
emplant the user interface controls as engrams by sending messages to
your visual cortex, as they store memories in your cerebral cortex. (buy
Elecraft)  Once they are assured you understand the user interface they
lyse themselves and are excreted.

A small number of the nanobots are retained for future upgrades. The
KX15 user interface nanobots are keyed to your DNA to prevent them from
roaming to other humans.   Since they have this DNA map they can compare
each cell they encounter for cancer screening. Any diploid cell which
does not match your DNA map can be lysed, pending approval of course.
They will also filter your blood for toxins.  Or, sadly, they could be
used to remove the KX15 thought controlled interface.

The nanobots did more than enhance pathways in your brain and emplant
engrams.  They also crafted interface antennas under your skin.  Those
appear as tattoos which can be made transparent if desired.  The
antennas are gauged for: WiFi, Blue Tooth, and the control/data link to
the Tesla free space transducer.  You can change the antenna type if you
wish by scanning the thought interface for choices.  Run multiple
antennas to better link with your 'net environment.

Next Wayne mentioned the thought to CW modulation scheme.  Plus other
options, like thought to: SSB, AM, and a list of digital modes.  But he
knew he had me hooked with thought to CW  Whatever you think is
transmitted in your chosen mode.  Whatever you think...  Yes, the
thought controlled interface does require a few filters: the language
limiter, band and power limits per class and location, regulation
encouragement, and (buy Elecraft) subliminal advertising.

You can order the optional color packet for custom tattoos:
The animated Elecraft logo
Campaign ribbons for K1 through K16 and KX1 through KX15
   with serial number overlays
   and decorations for multiple rigs in each category

Or install the active nanobot tattoo function where you can display:
A scrolling message
Real time raw contest score
The time piece of your choice
Active tattoo on either, or both arms
All tattoos can be made transparent via instant thought command

After I had taken notes on the interface I asked him about the rig
itself.  He told me there is no radio, only a transducer which generates
a carrier wave, drawing power from free space.  The transducer controls
wavelength, modulation, sampling, and the power level requested.  He did
complain about not being able to lower the rig's power draw; 0.03
microamps is just too high.  He really wants to use nanobots to embed
the transducer, eliminate the various interconnects, and speed
throughput.  Then the thought controlled interface would be able to
drive the Tesla field transducer directly.  I lost the next sentence
because I was thinking of a perfect antenna, oriented exactly, even as I
was hiking around sending CW with my thoughts.  Woo Hoo!

Then I asked him about power levels.  He said he had melted a receiver,
but quickly added limiters to the thought controlled interface.  He
mentioned the lost Tesla papers in passing but we never got back to it.
I have to admit the transducer does seem like science fiction.  But
Wayne assured me it works great.  The transducer is carried on a velcro
patch (for now) linked to the thought interface via the embedded antenna
links.  It is 3.5
