If the FT8 program is running on a separate "loosely coupled" computer that is internal, I don't see a problem. Doug --KJ0F On 3/25/2019 3:59 PM, Fred Jensen wrote: Ummm ... I think there are two issues here: The algorithms, coding, and modulation schemes for transmitting and receiving what

Of course. But we’re not going to tell everyone about our secret fishing spots. This particular pond just happens to be in a very public place. One where we get nibbles on every cast. 73, Wayne N6KR elecraft.com > On Mar 25, 2019, at 6:07 PM, Richards wrote: > > Mr. Eric, perhaps

Mr. Eric,  perhaps you are fishing in the wrong pond ... To coin a phrase:   Ask not why some hams buy your radios - ask why all the others do not. Asking members of this group who are pleased with your products is misplaced.   Instead, you should poll those who recently purchased, or who

Folks - Let's end the "Will there be a K4?" , "Touchscreen" and related threads now. Very interesting suggestions and comments, but we are wy past the reasonable number of allowed posts on a topic :-) . I was tied up most of the day here and just now got back on reading my email.   Wow!

Re: [Elecraft] Will there be a K4

Touch screens on something in the K3 form factor are of little use... Also own 7100 and that screen is troublesome to use and makes me wish I had gone with K3X and another separate 2m/440 FT8 mode would mean many firmware updates plus not clear how you get all the useful display information... it

Page Two: of my K4 ideas. After writing my last post on this topic, it dawned on me the K3 architecture already uses a separate screen box which is the P3. So just expand that to being a touch screen controller with P3 embedded. Then its a option for those that want one. Main radio
