[Elecraft] Dedicated FTx Rig

[John Harper]

SDR radios don't require the entanglement of cables and can be quite
portable. I have two - the mcHF and the older Apache Labs Anan-10e. Only
one ethernet cable connects them to a small laptop for any/all modes.
6-160m with the Anan; 10-80 with the mcHF.

Hopefully the KX4 will have this efficiency and easy-of-connectivity as
well.

The idea would be to avoid dragging along a computer and hassle with all
the cabling.  There all kinds of folks here on this reflector using
KX2's and KX3's interfaced with laptops and iPads for portable
operation.  That just seems like a sloppy way to do it when a rather
simple all-in-one unit with a much simpler radio could handle the same
task less expensively.
