Wayne, Some means to GPS-lock the frequency, ala the QRPlabs QLG1: https://www.qrp-labs.com/qlg1.html This would make running a number of really-low-power long-transmit-time digital modes like WSPR and QRSS more practical. Also, built-in Free-DV support would be really nifty, for all the K-line. This is starting to show up in certain competitive radios.

Make sure the on board computer has either nano or vim, gcc, and make. That way you can modify the code while you walk. A CW to editor function would be helpful. 73, Kevin.

Re: [Elecraft] Opportunism, bravery, insanity: putting the "eXtreme" in Elecraft's KX and AX gear
Keith, you should investigate the new DRAWS hat for the Raspberry Pi, currently on offer from Northwest Digital Radio. Right now it's still in the early days of release, but it's getting better and better, and they plan on a complete micro workstation for digital operations. It has lots of the features you would need. It's not quite to the point of just plugging it into the left side of a KX3, but that's probably something some enterprising engineer could cobble up as an adapter, or a 3d printer project. I've got one of the boards, I've just been waiting for the developer types to find all the flaws and figure out all the additional bits necessary to make it truly complete before I dive into it. Besides, I'm in the middle of relearning my code, so I can use CW again! I was a CW operator back in 2000, but I let it slide and haven't used it in a long time. So I need to relearn it! Here's the website. There's also a mailing list on groups.io if you need more information. http://nwdigitalradio.com/draws/ 73, Gwen NG3P On Tue, Dec 18, 2018 at 8:54 PM Keith Onishi wrote: > A small box, which consists of a Linux computer with WSJT-X and Bluetooth > capable to communicate with smartphone applications, attachable to the left > side of KX3 without connection cables would be nice.

Re: [Elecraft] Opportunism, bravery, insanity: putting the "eXtreme" in Elecraft's KX and AX gear
Well ... leaving Tucson AZ a few years ago, we were approaching TSA security when I discovered my Swiss Army Knife in a pocket of my cargo shorts. I had a small carry-on so I unzipped my shaving kit and tucked it inside figuring it would be gone. I wear braces on my legs and carry some scrap metal in my shoulder and am toast at TSA anyway. I got the usual close inspection, but my knife made it through unscathed. OTOH, that shaving kit, a Christmas present, contained a teeny little fingernail scissors and file in one of the side pockets that I didn't know about. TSA found them and took nearly 30 min to decide what to do with them ... despite my telling them to just throw them away. To really be useful, a Swiss Army knife can't really be glued to anything. 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Washoe County On 12/18/2018 2:14 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: Glue a Swiss Army Knife to the side and you have all of that and more.

I carried the smallest Swiss Army knife with the little 1 inch blade, scissors, and tooth pick onto a cruise out of Orlando once and they confiscated it. When we got on the boat, in our suite, there was a bar with a cork screw, knives and forks in the drawer, etc. Kind of ridiculous. But they gave it back to me after the cruise.

Re: [Elecraft] Opportunism, bravery, insanity: putting the "eXtreme" in Elecraft's KX and AX gear
Since the KXPD3 has two paddles, why not a bottle opener on one, and a can opener on the other?

[Elecraft] Opportunism, bravery, insanity: putting the "eXtreme" in Elecraft's KX and AX gear
Since the beginning, Elecraft products have been used under difficult field conditions. There's the usual rain, insects, and insomnia of Field Day, of course. Murphy at his best. But our customers have gone well beyond this, conquering uncharted territory, experimenting with new technology, even recruiting diminutive ungulates as pack animals. Feedback about these experiences has helped us hone our ultraportable transceivers; they've gotten smaller, lighter, and more capable, leading to the present KX3 and KX2. We've also answered the call for a truly compact, multi-band pedestrian mobile antenna with the introduction of the AX1 and its accessories. No doubt -- with your help -- our gear will continue to evolve. Tell us about your operating adventures. And misadventures. What worked best? Where could things have been improved? For example, when you were clinging to a tree limb using an inverted vertical last winter, could you still hear signals above the blizzard? On that ironman run, did you need an antenna that deploys with one hand? Maybe an integrated speech-to-FT8 converter? And when you embellish your tales beside a campfire, should your detachable keyer paddle double as a bottle opener? A few of your stories will find their way into our monthly newsletter. All of them will help inform and inspire the next generation of Elecraft's outdoor product line. 73, Wayne N6KR __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
