[Elecraft] Re: K1: Potential new product

[Don Wilhelm]

The inclusion of the KX1 in this discussion is getting very close to 
saying that a small DSP unit should be created as an external option.  
There is just not room in the KX1 to add much of anything (unless the 
internal battery space is sacrificed. But then Lyle has created magic 
before, so he may be able to put one in if it has really tiny SMD 
technology.

A small DSP board should easily be feasible inside the K1.

I don't have a metro, but leather seats are really nice. :-)
