[Elecraft] Diversity and Link

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Do you think the link function is being removed altogether (it is
not), or is the issue losing the use of HOLD on the SUB button for
LINK?

My interesting string of off-reflector emails about this mostly
involves people using LINK in very complex ways, combined with other
things.

Oddly enough, if I understand them correctly, their use of LINK does
not involve the use of the SUB button at all. I don't think any of
them are hurt at all by the button change, apparently mostly annoyed
that their usage of LINK is not recognized, that others seem to think
that LINK has no use. I'm sure Wayne has figured that out. Given what
I've gotten in email as a totally perimeter player on all this, Wayne
must have been buried in email about it.

I have learned a new term, "button board", a device to go next to the
keyboard somewhere, where the stuff done by the buttons is
complicated, and, it seems, quite specific to the individual ham.

It's not that the cat does not get skinned, but that there are many
ways to skin that cat, apparently ALL of them in use somewhere.

73, Guy K2AV
