[Elecraft] New Product speculation

2018-02-11 Thread Morgan Bailey
1.) A full SO2R box that seamlessly integrates 2 K3S radios with all the
necessary cabling fully shieldied with minimal problems interfacing with
N1MM+.

2.) A band pass filter solution from 160-10 with auto switching controlled
with full automation by either pressing the band switch buttons on
different K3S or by clicking the Icon on N1MM+.

Yeah I can dream. Right now i have the MK2R+. Nice unit but really a bit of
a pain to routwall the cables necessary for the control of 2 rigs.

Because of the interface problems, I am looking at the Flex 6600 as a one
box solution and using the K3S as a back up rig. I have been underwelmed at
the 6300 as a CW radio, but it has been some years since i sat at one and
maybe the software is fixed better. Time will tell. In the end, The cost of
a second K3S/P3 is the same as the FLEX. $5k either way.

I am getting ready to retire and will be shopping hard for that final radio
for contesting full time. Money is drawing intrest in the bank and i am
just waiting for the reviews. Unfortunately the Icom 7610 is not an option,
even though i do love the ICOM line, it just does not have the performance
necessary for a CW radio in a high RF environment. I would not be much
better off buying 2 7300s and puting them with the MK2R+. Unfortunately the
selectivity and desensing is the issue. They sure do sound good on SSB but
if i wanted broadcast audio i would be running Antique Modulation.

Just my 2 sense.

[Elecraft] New Product Speculation

2018-02-07 Thread John Harper
No need to add the Maestro - the latest M-suffix rigs already have that
functionality built-in:

Sounds like the current Flex and Maestro.

[Elecraft] New Product Speculation

2018-02-06 Thread Joseph Trombino, Jr
Howdy Gang.

My prediction for a new Elecraft product is the K4.

A full sized/featured 160M-6M SDR transceiver with at least an 8” front panel 
Hi-Res touchscreen with the ability to display multiple slices of several 
different bands at once with separate RX and TX capability.

Or perhaps a Black Box with the same capabilities with the above Front Panel 
display with controls as a separate unit.

WI-FI/Bluetooth connectivity between the two so you can use the Front Panel 
unit remotely in your bedroom or car operating mobile.

I’m ready to lay out the deposit (grin).

Guess I can dream, can’t I? (grin)

[Elecraft] New Product Speculation

2018-02-06 Thread Richard Thorne

Let the rumors / guess's begin on what will be announced at Dayton/Xenia.

Maybe an External/remote antenna tuner that can be mounted outdoors that 
communicates with a  K3(s) or KX3 and follows along like the 
K3(s)/KAT-500 does.  Two versions, 500 watt and 1500 watt so it can 
handle a KPA-500 or KPA-1500.  It also needs to be able to handle coax 
as well as open line.
