[Elecraft] RE: Ideas - New Elecraft Products ( Elecraft Digest, Vol 25, Issue 26)

[JONES, George]

 A very stimulating thread !

 My thoughts so far  :

    * A manual ATU(AMU)(Transmatch)- as already suggested - but with Quiet Tune facility.
   (I presume not easily "do-able" with something like the excellent T1...)

    * PSK31 (plus some other data modes...) - some kind of smart SW/HW package either stand-alone
    or integrated into a multi-band transceiver, containing the functionality of TX/RX,digipan-type
    display - rather than use a PC..I have thought about my K2 plus a lap-top on a picnic table but
    the lap-top bit is off-putting from "power" and "stuff" considerations.

    *  A T1 "enhancement" - add an antenna disconnect feature whenever the T1 is in the CW Status reporting
    mode. This would solve the problem of even just band noise obscuring the weak status
    report signal when needed.
   (Actually a Sierra/T1 integration issue, but I think of wider interest)
