Steve — To your point - they’re aimed at different uses. I’ve got a W2 - quite happy with it. It’s perfect for what it does. Stays in line, let’s me know what’s going on between the rig and the antenna, and I can use it remotely — which is how I generally operate — even if remotely is just one part of the house to another.
Would love to see a refresh and modernization - of the software if nothing else. Maybe build the controller part on an ESP32 type platform. Make it WiFi or Bluetooth connected… Who knows. Possibilities are endless. -- [email protected] > On Jan 14, 2022, at 5:25 PM, Steve Masticola via Elecraft > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Bob, I own a Bird 43 and a few slugs.
