I just received my FLEX-1500. ====snip PowerSDR is a screen hog. The -1500 does not support VOX. It doesn't even have a speaker amplifier. ##PowerSDR has also been evaluated for sensitivity in weak-signal work and found wanting Etc. Here is my thought: Elecraft makes a box about the size of the -1500. It has a basic 10W transceiver ===snip We'd fall a bit short with no external reference input. We could do a frequency locked system with the Si570, but not a phase-locked one. Then again, how many people are really doing moonbounce and need that additional stability and accuracy? ## About 2500-3000 eme'rs world-wide and don't forget the microwavers...no idea how many there are? The K3 is very popular in both groups. The last radio that was snapped up by eme was the FT-847. The rest is interesting read. I am hoping the development will go into the existing K3 73, Ed - KL7UW, WD2XSH/45 ====================================== BP40IQ 500 KHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com EME: 144-QRT*, 432-100w, 1296-QRT*, 3400-fall 2010 DUBUS Magazine USA Rep [email protected] ====================================== *temp ______________________________________________________________ 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
