Hi Steve, The built-in decode functions in the KX3 (etc.) were never meant to replace fire-breathing PC-based implementations running thousands of lines of code on multi-GHz processors.
Our customers like the decode/encode capability for its convenient, casual operation. Examples: - Field Day, when you get burned out on CW and SSB (I myself made a few dozen RTTY and PSK31 contacts in this year's FD, just using the paddle and message buffers -- no PC) - quickly pouncing on a new RTTY DX entity before long everyone else gets past thier Windows boot-up - showing non-hams what CW and other modes "look like" -- they can see both halves of a QSO since both RX and TX streams are shown We do have a long-term goal to continue improving the decoders, within resource limits. Any such improvement would come in the form of a free firmware upgrade. 73, Wayne N6KR On Sep 8, 2015, at 6:46 PM, Stephen Shearer <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you for the info. > > I am still thinking about SideKar…. ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
