[Elecraft] Ideas for an FT8 Radio

[Don Wilhelm]

Jeff,

Concept is good, but ignores the latency problem with Bluetooth.  I 
think that would be a "killer" for data modes like FT8 which need rather 
precise timing.

To get an idea about the latency of Bluetooth, try monitoring your CW 
with a Bluetooth headset - unless you are a slow operator, the delay 
(which is caused by latency) will drive you to phone operation.
