Wayne, Some means to GPS-lock the frequency, ala the QRPlabs QLG1: https://www.qrp-labs.com/qlg1.html This would make running a number of really-low-power long-transmit-time digital modes like WSPR and QRSS more practical. Also, built-in Free-DV support would be really nifty, for all the

Make sure the on board computer has either nano or vim, gcc, and make.  That way you can modify the code while you walk.  A CW to editor function would be helpful.    73,    Kevin.  KD5ONS On 12/18/18 5:53 PM, Keith Onishi wrote: A small box, which consists of a Linux computer with

Keith, you should investigate the new DRAWS hat for the Raspberry Pi, currently on offer from Northwest Digital Radio. Right now it's still in the early days of release, but it's getting better and better, and they plan on a complete micro workstation for digital operations. It has lots of the

A small box, which consists of a Linux computer with WSJT-X and Bluetooth capable to communicate with smartphone applications, attachable to the left side of KX3 without connection cables would be nice. This helps digi-mode field operation. I have experienced some frequency drift during FT8 and

I carried the smallest Swiss Army knife with the little 1 inch blade, scissors, and tooth pick onto a cruise out of Orlando once and they confiscated it. When we got on the boat, in our suite, there was a bar with a cork screw, knives and forks in the drawer, etc. Kind of ridiculous. But they

Glue a Swiss Army Knife to the side and you have all of that and more. Of course, you can no longer carry it in the passenger cabin of an aircraft - TSA will confiscate the entire radio if it is glued. 73, Don W3FPR On 12/18/2018 4:57 PM, Nr4c wrote: How about a small plastic “toothpick”
