[Elecraft] Fwd: Re: Full duplex for Sat work?

[Jerry Moore]

It may merit further research. The owner's manual block indicates the Rx DSP
as "DSP2" ? It may be doable with firmware IF the hardware path would allow
it. IF the hardware paths allow it then it's probably configured in firmware
to protect the DSP/circuits... no clue.. looking for the schematic now.. not
a high priority but fun and educational.

I believe the software is available on the AMSAT website and if you sign up
for AMSAT membership they will allow the download and send a CD of the
available software etc.
