I commend you for your ingenuity and experimentation efforts. [js] Thank you, Robert. I try to prototype each idea before presenting it to Elecraft in order to gain a better appreciation for what’s involved. I try to focus on ideas which offer the most bang for the firmware buck, building on existing Elecraft capabilities.
As a PX3 user, I'm very interested in some of these ideas. The only thing that I hate about the PX3 is the need to tap the "SELECT" button to QSY to the marker frequency. Many times I end up moving the PX3 all over the table while trying to tap this button. [js] I agree completely. I had the *exact* same problem. You either need to “bolt” the PX3 to the table or hold it in one hand while turning / tapping the encoder knob with the other hand. [js] A $10 wireless mouse solves the problem … assuming Elecraft is willing to add mouse firmware support to the PX3. Tapping the left mouse button QSY’s the KX3 to the marker frequency. However, I imagine Elecraft rather sell K•Pod’s. This is likely why we haven’t seen mouse firmware support with the PX3 (and P3). It’s clearly a marketing decision and not a technical challenge. [js] Personally, I prefer a remote knob. I’d be willing to spend $250 for a K•Pod if its firmware were modified to work in conjunction with the PX3. Please don't get discourage by some rude people on this reflector. This is basically the same group of "contradictorians" and kool aid drinkers that will never suggest or let alone try anything to advance the state of art. [js] Don’t worry. I’m thick-skinned. I hold patents for ideas which are less novel.
