Some bullet points. take the best of what is emerging and improve it..
-2 inputs and multiple antenna ports and enough isolation to support SO2R OOB with 1 devices. (flex amp). less devices, shack simplification and value... -ability to control device over Ethernet via remote without connecting via a serial interface, but keep the serial interface for legacy use (flex amp) the future is on ethernet. -some kind of ability to manage mismatches, probably a tuner either outboard like a kat500 or inboard would be better. one that is more resilient than the expert would be a market differentiator(expert amps but needs improvement) This would make it a killer device. Thats what comes to mind short term. ________________________________________ From: Elecraft [[email protected]] on behalf of Wayne Burdick [[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 17, 2017 11:21 AM To: Wes Stewart Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Linear thoughts On Mar 17, 2017, at 11:14 AM, Wes Stewart <[email protected]> wrote: > Three times the power, one-third the cost? > > Somewhat more seriously: legal limit, internal tuner for up to at least 3:1 > SWR (option?), optional separate power supply, quieter cooling.
