I am compiling a product development requirements document for a consortium of companies that intends to develop, manufacture and market the "ULITMATE Ham Radio Station Control System."
If you would like to have an expandable station control system to select TX and RX antennas, SO2R, , have more than one radio share TX and RX Antennas, switch Audio In, Audio Out, Keying Leads, distribute 12 and 24 volt DC and most any and all other functions to make your station the ultimate in flexibility and control using mouse clicks, touch screen push buttons and custom assignable labels what would your wish list contain? The system will consist of a common mounting shelf that will house plug in card modules. To expand or add additional functions the user will simply purchase function cards, plug them in the shelf, make plug in connections and set configuration options. If you care to participate, I would appreciate receiving a "Bullet Type Wish List" e-mail with your list. At this point, I don't need details, simply a "Wish List" (Examples) * Up to 10 TX Antennas shared with 2 radios * Up to 8 RX Antennas share with 2 radios * Control of current off the shelf remote coax switches * Remote relays over Blue Tooth or 802.11, RS-232 and/or cable pairs * Be able to use K-3 or XYZ Radio to drive a KPA 500 or any other amplifier with a touch of a button or mouse click to switch Amp In, Audio/Key/ALC * Have Lock Out if a particular antenna is selected - Ant 1 for TX and Ant 2 for RX, etc. * One button change from SO1R to SO2R * Switch one set of paddles to two different keyers * Key two radios at the same time * "What else?" There is virtually no end to what the wish list may contain but please be realistic in what you would consider useful and you would consider purchasing if it fit your needs and the price was right... Thanks & 73, Jack ______________________________________________________________ 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
