[Elecraft] Competition coming for Elecraft?

[Simon Brown (HB9DRV)]

I'm thinking of three major computer-related 'opportunities' for the K3:

[1] A true network device with Ethernet (maybe USB but this is overkill 
IMHO),
[2] Access to bandscope info via the network.
[3] Audio / digital pre-audio data via the network.

This hardware is not too expensive nowadays, and if there is a willing group 
of programmers the computer software needed can be free. The FlexRadio 
software is gently moving in this direction, may be a good testbed for these 
ideas.

Obviously an external box could be built which handles this for all radios 
but what I really, really want is bandscope data at a nice high speed.

I'm so impressed with my KX-1 kit that I am having a battle with my VISA 
card to stop me buying a K1 as well :-)
