[Elecraft] Ideas for an FT8 Radio

[Rick Bates (WA6NHC)]

50-70 watts out is fine, that will provide adequate drive for most amps to run their full rated power out.  If you don’t want that much, turn it down.

Mouse but only and an optional keyboard since the programs are primarily mouse driven. The computer (raspberry pi et al.)  inside the radio box. 50watts output, 160-6m and all mode. A jack for an external monitor would be good. This would make a very portable digital radio that only needs an antenna, dc, and a mouse or track pad to make it work, but also have the ability to expand for more fixed use.
