The DDS chip with a TCXO frequency standard makes a really stable
radio. If Elecraft wanted to make an all band CW radio this design might
be the one to use. The new Double Balanced Mixers can go a long way
towards improving Image rejection, a current problem with single conversion.
It would be a lot like the KX1 but I would want the transmit power
to be around 10 watts, it will cover all Ham bands from 160 through 10
meters. It will have a nice liquid crystal display of frequency and
other data. It will have VFO A and B. You can even build in a spot
function :-) but normal operation will move the transmitter a set
number of KHz up or down in frequency.
There are a number of nice CW features that can be built in and make
this the most frequency stable, most complete feature set CW radio kit
on the market.
