Re: [Elecraft] Firmware development

On the other hand, Elecraft can't afford to expend resources on new features for products no longer in production. Professional development costs money, and there's no revenue stream from free firmware for products that are not for sale. It might even have a negative effect by influencing users

My impression is that all hobbyist fused filament printer use open source firmware. The difference is likely to be whether the vendor pre-configures and pre-installs it. That probably applies to all fused filament printers. I think the original movement behind these was that you could, large

Re: [Elecraft] Firmware development

N1MM+ may not open source in the strict sense, but it IS collaborative by a pretty large base of contributors who do it merely as a side job.  In terms of how it has been developed it is as close to being open source as you can get without being updated by random contributors, and it most cer

Re: [Elecraft] K3 FT8 Levels Sanity Check

It has been doing well with the settings I posted. One of the schools of thought is to use the most gain in the final stage, which should be the line gain on the K3. With the KIO3B the levels on the computer, Windows volume & Pwr slider in WSJT-X should be known quantities. I suppose, OS & drive

The contrarian view is based on a correlation analysis of the distance between "termination events" and the activity of the following cycle.  The earlier [lower] estimates for Cycle 25 were based on physical solar dynamics.  I remember Cycle 19, I was a teenage ham with a new Extra, and I of co

You are exactly right Len. A majority of the worlds biggest super computers are run on open source software (Not Windows :)). The June 2020 list here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOP500. Android devices, imbedded devices, most web browsers etc. The list goes on and on. it’s about quality devel

The phrase "run a DERIVATION of an open source operating system" is key. It is just a basis for their software. I would bet not a one of them would open up the full source code used on their hardware. They might reveal which open source operating system they based their software on, but not

Re: [Elecraft] Firmware development

This whole thread has suffered from a confluence of two separate issues. One is whether or not open source software in general is quality stuff, and even "derivations" of open source software require that the underlying bits represent good design and good code.  Some here have essentially cl

Re: [Elecraft] K3 FT8 Levels Sanity Check

Another thing to remember is that you are generating a signal in single sideband mode. You can also get a pretty good setting by increasing the gain until it just gets to the power level you have set on the RF out meter. That is what I do on some of my non-Elecraft rigs. Your level then should not

Jim, That may work OK for non-Elecraft gear, but with the power control mechanism used by Elecraft, not having sufficient audio drive will cause "power hunting". Drive the soundcard audio for digital modes to 4 bars solid with the 5th flashing on the ALC meter. Then set the power knob for t
