[Elecraft] Does anyone...

[blake]

Thanks for the reply.

I read through that course (I'll probably end up there too someday).  My
limited understanding left me feeling like the PIC-EL was based on the
PIC16F84A  chip set, an 18-pin chip, while the SX28 is, like it's name
suggests, a 28-pin chip.

I don't think they are physically or electronically compatible?
