[Elecraft] re: K3/HPSDR/Perseus/QS1R -- it is *NOT* about limits....

[Ken N9VV]

Thank you Eric and Wayne for allowing this discussion to continue 
on the Elecraft list. For a plain-vanilla Ham like me, it is all 
fascinating and very challenging to try and understand the new 
designs.

this morning I read:
"I wonder what is next - It seems to me that we reach a practical 
limit for front end sensitivity ....."

To me, none of this activity is about limits. It is all about the 
purest and most heart warming elements of Ham Radio - 
_EXPERIMENTATION_ and _INNOVATION_

These bleeding edge combination of technologies reveals a very 
rapid and significant change in Ham Radio.

adaptation, and evolution. We have crossed the chasm from rigs 
that you repair yourself to the rigs you can enhance yourself; 
from rigs you build out of parts, to rigs you build out of 
functional blocks; from rigs that are self contained trophy's of 
bent aluminum, to rigs that beat with an invisible software heart"

that is what the discussion means to me :-)

thank you for the email bandwidth,
