Having just read the Waters & Stanton add in this months RadCom, I see
on pg 2 an add for the Icom IC-7700 and its content :
"Another first: built-in PSK31 and RTTY. Just add a USB keyboard"
Apart from taking exception - it's not a first, the K3 was I believe
(but no point complaining - K3 doesn't have a KB yet), this got me to
thinking...
Would some bright spark like to produce a very small USB keyboard to
paddle converter kit? I would guess a PIC that would produce the
appropriate contact closures?
This is far beyond me in design, but while we wait for Elecraft to
possibly add some form of keyboard interface, this would allow us to
drive the built in PSK and RTTY in the K3 via the paddle input.
I know there is the NUE-PSK unit, but since most of the requirement is
in the K3, I thought a small unit to convert key press to contact
closure might be possible?
