[Elecraft] Dayton - Initial Reconnaissance

[David Wilburn]

Great stuff.  Thanks for the update.  I wonder if the display is at a 
specific size and resolution, so by integrating the screen it is a 
"known" element.

I had kinda hoped it would be a box that would plug into the K3, and 
then plug into an available screen.  You could put it on a 44" LCD, or 
  a 20" LCD, what ever your budget was.

Not to poo poo the thing before it is out.  I am very much looking 
forward to it regardless of the integrated screen.  In days of old, I 
worked on a panoramic receiver that was used by the B-52G/H and I very 
much look forward to playing with one again.
