Regarding the discussion of the display on the K3, not that anybody
asked, but I'm solidly in the "I want a larger radio and display" camp.
Perhaps you could design an interface for the K3 that would let
someone hook it up to a 22 inch LCD monitor.
Why stop at a 22" monitor? What about one of those nifty 50" jobs?
Actually, I've no doubt that "cost" is one of the reasons the K3
doesn't have a large LCD display. I haven't any idea what they cost,
but considering that you can buy a computer monitor very cheaply,
considering the size, it would have been a great way to take the K3
design - the current display, and a supercharged DVI output to allow
dumping expanded operating parameters to a screen (and a panadaptor
output, when that time comes) that could accommodate it. Not like
this would be revolutionary, but it would be nice.
In any event, I don't have the training to do hardware/RTOS
development. I do financial (specifically, bill payment) programming
and development.
I know the "Yeah, but you can take the K3 portable argument", and
that's all well and good, but I don't tend to schlepp my rigs around.
Neither do I...but I live in a very small house.
My shack is pretty small: 11 X 12. I've got the computer, printer,
the ham station (2 HF rigs planned, a Kenwood TS-790A for V/UHF, an
HF amp, a 2M brick amp, plus power supplies for the above and a Henry
3006 for 6M work) and filing cabinets all jammed in here. I wish it
was 3 times larger. As it is now, I can't have a visitor sit down
and hang out with me.
Do you think K3 owners that operate CW should wear garters on their
shirts and maybe have green eye shades?
Huh? I don't get it. I consider CW to be a highly advanced form of
communication, actually. It's the AM and "ESSB" folks who, IMO,
should be wearing the green eye shades, etc.
