Here are my inputs to K3 needs survey (I took a little license and went way outside the K3 box) :
1. Keyboard for digital /CW modes coupled with P3 onscreen digital mode decode 2. Antenna management unit that is aware of K3 mode and band. This would be an antenna switch unit that would simultaneously direct the proper antennas to the various UHF/BNC antenna ports for diversity receive if the K3 is in Diversity mode. If one Rx is on a different band, the antenna switch unit would connect the proper antenna to the proper port for that Rx. Antenna switch unit could be remote. 3. External panel that can actuate K3 macros and direct band access switches as well as offer independent control of the SubRx such as direct frequency enter, NB, NR, Notch, Hi-Cut, Low-Cut, etc. Buttons for macros need to be able to be labeled even if it is just a place to place placard labels. Place for this panel could be the space below the K3 when the K3 bail is lowered. Wouldn't it be nice if it had an independent sub Rx S-meter? Maybe this panel could be integrated with two speakers. 4. Separate Tx equalization for front and back microphone connections as well as normal/ESSB modes 5. Desktop kilowatt amplifier with wide range antenna tuner in same size box as K3. Should have internal power supply and weigh 8 pounds :) Mike Scott AE6WA Tarzana, CA K3/100 SN508 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
