[Elecraft] K3 Programmer's Reference iPhone App Available

[Phil Hystad]

Actually, I was thinking that formatting such information for the iPad would be
more useful.  I have been thinking about the myriad of applications that might
be fitting for an iPad in my shack.  What I need is the time to create them and
unfortunately I will not have that time this year but maybe someone else can
do it.

Aside from the documentation features, I am curious about using the iPad USB
audio capability for doing digital modes using something like the Signalink USB
device.

Or, a smart circuit diagram would be nice.  The fact that you have a touch screen
with very fast scroll  and positioning ability through finger swipes and other 
gestures allows you to create a very nice 3-dimensional circuit diagram reader.
The diagram would be complete in 2-dimensions, that is, no separate pages for
continuation.  And, zooming (even using finger gestures for zoom control) allows
you to go into deeper detail.  For example, the top level can be like a block 
diagram of the circuit layout but zooming in gives you access to greater detail
of the circuit.  Of course, who is to stop this from going all the way to a great
circuit analysis program -- maybe we could call it iCap.

Just a few things I would like to see or even build myself if I have the time.
Unfortunately, my day job, vacations, other hobbies (woodworking), and just
POHR (plain old ham radio) cut into my available time.
