Re: [Elecraft] Tracking Elecraft Feature Requests

2017-02-17 Thread Doug Turnbull
Dear Ted and Co,
Years ago I requested a pod to control memory and VFO.   It did not
happen and I requested again but then assumed it a lost cause and looked at
the fine K3 in front of me and the service given and decided well maybe
there is a reason and that is that.  Other solutions came out but it was
still not really what I hoped for.  Then out of the blue Elecraft brings in
the K-Pod which is far better than anything ever expected.

 In time some of the many other requested features may be introduced but
it is an Elecraft decision whether either practical or worth while.   If you
have a better radio available purchase it.

 Meanwhile I am perhaps a bit cranky but if as a company I openly
solicit suggestions the idea that they would be recorded by a third party
who would dictate to my enterprise well maybe I would be thick and stop
bothering with a reflector.

For me the fact that Elecraft has done so much development on an
existing product and kept older versions of the product up to date is just
wonderful.Then quietly Elecraft goes off and develops the KX2 post KX3 -
oh I will never need one of those.   Then I saw the KX2 at Friedrichshafen
and fell in love all over again.Let us not be too critical and let us
appreciate the ability to talk to the design engineers who own and manage
Elecraft.

I agree fully with Don and Dave (messages below) and others who have made
similar points.  To me it's very simple:  We are customers, not
shareholders.

There are features I wish their products had, and I have had no hesitation
to mention them on this reflector.  Perhaps uniquely among producers of the
type, as I understand it Elecraft monitors these posts.  If an idea has
merit, acquires some me-toos, and would work within the financial and
technical framework of the company and its processes, I have confidence it
will be considered.  But I do not believe the company owes me even so much
as an acknowledgment.   No more than I owe them an explanation about why I
haven't yet bought a KX2.  Elecraft is a very good amateur radio equipment
maker.  I am a happy repeat customer.  So long as I like their gear and
their service, I'll keep buying it.  If it were a publicly listed company I
might very well buy stock in it.  But it isn't, and I haven't.

I agree with Kevin's "Why"
Tell me of another amateur radio manufacturer who maintains such a list.

  This is *not* open source programming.
If such a list exists for any other amateur radio manufacturer, they 
would come out with an "improved" new radio (Mark VI) version and if you

wanted the "upgrade" you would have to buy the new radio.

With Elecraft, you get those "upgrades" at no cost, just download the 
firmware. You knew (or should have known) the capabilities of the radio 
when you bought it - you did review the specializations and features 
before you purchased it, did you not?

I don't think we need to have visibility into the Elecraft engineering 
resources, and prioritization of requests for added functions.

Those at Elecraft *do* listen and often respond to such customer 
requests, but the prioritization of those requests must be on Elecraft's

terms for reasons of availability of engineering resources and the sales

benefit of those changes.

Bug reports will get a different response than those requests for 
changed operation.  If bug reports are proven valid and repeatable, they

will be attended to promptly.

Except that you explicitly and repeatedly whined every time you brought 
it up that Elecraft wasn't willing to do those things, and in my opinion 
they have zero obligation and little practical reason to do so.  If you 
want someone to maintain such a database, do so yourself (or talk 
somebody else into it) without getting all moralistic about it.  It 
might be important to you, but it isn't important for Elecraft to do it 
for you.

In a competitive business environment  especially where you are viewed as an
innovator, having a public prioritized list of potential new features could
negatively impact a company.  I think Elecraft has done a much better job of
responding to customers requests than most all Amateur radio suppliers.

Re: [Elecraft] Tracking Elecraft Feature Requests

2017-02-15 Thread Bo3b
Asked Elecraft Support, and Wayne directly, some weeks ago about a company
maintained "public" Product Feature Request list - No specific reply so I
assume company not interested in making information on suggestions they
receive available. Any feedback collected via this forum might be helpful
but a Customer/Company reconciled and consolidated list would most likely be
best.

Also mentioned that a similar database for known firmware defects would be
useful. I reported at least 3 possible issues related to the KX2 and know
from professional experience that to accurately document and report
suspected issues can take significant time - An ongoing, up-to-date list of
Elecraft acknowledged problems would help Users avoid wasting time
investigating perceived problems. And make Customers more prone to report
potential issues - Everybody wins. And BTW, this includes documentation.

Additionally, a firmware upgrade/fix release schedule for known defects
might also prove useful.

Re: [Elecraft] Tracking Elecraft Feature Requests

2017-02-14 Thread Phil Hystad
Managing feature requests is traditional with software products.  I worked in 
software for 45
years prior to retirement and even started a company where enhancements to the 
various
products were very important to our customer base.

We had a feature request web site that we hosted and licensed customers had 
access to this
web site.  Prior to the web site, from 1970s to 1990s, we managed feature 
requests by paper
in the same manner of a customer submitting a bug report and reviewed such 
features with
customers during the annual user group meetings.

Given that radios, and in particular Elecraft gear, is almost just as much a 
software system
as hardware that such feature request management should be encouraged by 
Elecraft and
accessed via their http://elecraft.com web site  although not necessarily 
hosted by elecraft.com
since I am not sure how they manage their web site.  Access should be to anyone 
who has an 
Elecraft rig identified by serial number since I think being assigned login 
credentials should
be granted to owners only.  Yes, I know that there are Elecraft productst that 
do not have
serial numbers but they also are likely not to be generating feature requests 
anyway.

My two-bits.

I have another radio (mcHF) that the developers take request and implement

Why limit it just to list subscribers? Surely there are those out there who

It would be nice if we could track Elecraft feature requests in a more
structured manner.  The same feature requests come up over and over again. 
We often hear, "Elecraft will never develop feature X unless N users ask for
the feature."  Rather than having subscribers respond to the Elecraft email
list saying, "Count me in", "Me too", ... why not allow subscribers to
express interest in a proposed feature by adding their name / callsign to a
"feature logbook"?  One logbook per feature request.  Logbooks would be
organized (tagged) by Elecraft product.  Each logbook would include fields
such as:

    Created by
    Created on
    Abstract
    Description
    Applicable Elecraft products
    Disposition 
    Disposition updated on
    ...

We wouldn't need to burden Elecraft with maintaining the logbooks.  We could
designate a few admins.  We would need a means of authenticating a
subscriber (e.g., Elecraft email list username / password, QRZ.com username
/ password, ...).  Any subscriber could create a new feature logbook or an
admin could create a logbook on a subscriber's behalf.  An admin would
update a logbook disposition to reflect feedback from Elecraft (e.g.,
"planned for release R", "rejected due to technical limitation T", "under
consideration", ...).  An admin would reconcile duplicate / overlapping
logbooks.  Subscribers would only express interest in a proposed feature
(not disinterest).  Comments, questions and concerns regarding a proposed
feature would be reconciled through the Elecraft email list and reflected /
updated in the logbook description by the Creator or an admin.

Thoughts?

1. I'm trying to reduce spam.  2. I'm looking for an element of traceability
/ accountability.  We want to discourage users from expressing interest in a
proposed feature on another user's (or users') behalf.  

> Where are you planning to post these? Who's going to host whatever website

We'll need to work out the technical details.  At this point, I'm simply
trying to gauge interest in the concept.

admin could create a logbook on a subscriber's behalf.  An admin would
update a logbook disposition to reflect feedback from Elecraft (e.g.,
"planned for release R", "rejected due to technical limitation T", "under
consideration", ...).  An admin would reconcile duplicate / overlapping
logbooks.  Subscribers would only express interest in a proposed feature
(not disinterest).  Comments, questions and concerns regarding a proposed
feature would be reconciled through the Elecraft email list and reflected /
updated in the logbook description by the Creator or an admin.

Thoughts?
