Not :) There are five people responsible for software development at Elecraft. All of us are tasked with gradually improving not just the feature set but also the underlying structure, documentation, and regression test procedures. We all work very closely together, and have frequent discussions about which new features or improvements to work on. Many variables go into the equation, but the buck stops with Eric and myself. It's safe to say that our software and firmware get better with every release. Please keep sending suggestions, and don't pull any punches. We learn more from complaints than we do from praise, and we appreciate the great attitude of our customers. 73, Wayne N6KR --- http://www.elecraft.com _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
