[Elecraft] [QRP-L] New Elecraft product: XG3 All-Band RF SignalSource

[Phil Hystad]

My keyboard and my mouse are Bluetooth, why not all future devices from Elecraft support Bluetooth connections (well, as long as the bandwidth is acceptable)?  I really have this great urge to get rid of all connecting cables just like in the old Star Trek TV episode "The Ultimate Computer" (episode #53, stardate 4729.4).
