[Elecraft] K3 needs survey -- firmware and application software

[Wes Stewart]

If it's not too late I would like to add another couple of requests.

1)  Add Accukey emulation so I can send CW with the K3.

2)  Since the new DSP mods extends the bandwidth down to minus DC, implement phasing detection to improve the opposite sideband rejection.  Even without the bandwidth extension, the SSB opposite sideband rejection is not the greatest.

Hi all,

As you probably know, we keep a list of firmware features and  
improvements to be added as time permits. Many of the most-requested  
changes were made over the past several months, keeping pace with the  
demands of the fall/winter contest season. (A few that come to mind:  
switch sequence automation via macros, improved DVR interaction with  
PTT, main/sub audio mixing, improved NR, lockable transmit controls,  
and many enhanced remote-control commands.)

As we head into 2010, we'd like to refresh the master firmware list  
based on your input. Items already on the list have priority, of  
course, but this is a great opportunity to let us know what else is 
 
missing or could be improved. Our goal is to make the K3 as easy to  
use as possible, while providing the advanced features you need for  
specific operating situations.

We're also planning a renewed effort to assist application software  
developers. If your ideas for improvements involve changes to both K3  
firmware and a favorite application, we'll pass it along to the  
developers and work with them closely.

We're making great progress on the P3 Panadapter and other new  
products. There will be some surprises in 2010 :)
