[Elecraft] Firmware development

[David Gilbert]

"I can't think of one open source, community-based product that I'd want 
to hang my hat on, even if I do see some that I'd support.   I just 
don't see the professional depth in the general community."

Presumably you're talking about the amature radio community because 
nonprofessional collaborative open source software development in 
general is alive and very well, but even so how about N1MM+, or even 
WSJT-X and derivatives?  I could probably come up with other examples if 
I was willing to waste more time on it.

I think it would be insane of Elecraft to open up any of their products 
to open source development simply because of the chaos it would create 
for them trying to deal with users who busted their radios with buggy 
software that they probably wouldn't even admit to, but I also think 
your basic premise is flawed.
