Re: [Elecraft] Cold K3

Dick, The KX3 will not see those extreme cold temps. Where we live it rarely drops below -15F and typically is 0 to +10F at night in winter. The KX3 has a RAM bracket in my truck so it might sit outside at night. I was wondering how it would react to being powered on at down to -15F.

Re: [Elecraft] Camping radio ops: then and now

I was writing software for radios in 1981. Diagrams might help understanding, but the source code is the equivalent to a schematic. We already have a block diagram for the KX3 and people keep complaining. http://www.elecraft.com/manual/KX3%20Manual%20Block%20Diagram.pdf

Re: [Elecraft] Camping radio ops: then and now

Source code is too low level to get a conceptual understanding of what the software is doing -- a software architecture diagram is likely to be more useful for that. (in a similar way, for hardware a schematic diagram abstracts out implementation details such as PCB layout and track routing to
