One fundamental attraction of Elecraft gear [out of a countable infinity of attractions, it seems] is its modularity ... you pay for what you want. You want an autotuner for your K2, you purchase the KAT2. Don't want it? Don't buy it, and your K2 still works, it just wants to see something close to 50 + j0 ohms at the SO-239. Maybe you already have another way to make that happen.
I-Q digital output signals are important to some. Despite the fact that I actually know what quadrature signals are and what you can do with them, they are of zero interest to me and I really don't want to pay for them, however they might be implemented. I sincerely hope that the almost extreme modularity that, among many other things, makes Elecraft radios unique and highly desirable continues. If digital I-Q signals are a trivial cost, fine. If not, I hope they are implemented in a module and those for whom they're important can shoulder the cost. 73, Fred Jensen Auburn CA On 8/19/2011 2:54 PM, Jessie Oberreuter wrote: > > Yes, the I/Q data is already in digital form inside the KX3, so -- in > theory -- it should be easy to just pump it to the outside world in > digital form. The challenges are with the standards for that transfer. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
