[K3pzn-board] Fw: SDR-Cube Transceiver ordering is open

[Curt Milton]

Brief explanation: 

'Commercial product' ?  I can imagine George has no dreams of becoming a major 
equipment provider, or even Elecraft.  He is interested in ham radio from solder 
to digital bits as a pillar in the NJ QRP club - that has focused a lot on 
'digital things' to make or control radios.  I can imagine he has dug into his 
own savings a bit to manufacture this stuff for ham radio hobbyists ....


Sounds like Steve has run into George maybe in the world of employment ?  I knew 
he was working someplace in MD.  I only know of him from attending the NJQRP 
conference while it was happening in MD.  


The rig does look 'cute' - like a shrunken down TenTec Jupiter.  I probably 
think it is cute because it has controls 'like a real radio' vs. a 'classic SDR' 
which is operated across a PC via a mouse.  Yes I tend to like rigs with knobs 
and buttons!  (I haven't met a rig with hardware controls that I haven't enjoyed 
using some .... maybe someone will get one, and we'll use it with or without an 
amplifier at FD!)  


The more diverse stuff we can expose our growing cast of new hams (and the rest 
of us ...) to, the better.  It's a big world out there ....

  Sounds great to me. I have no issues with a presentation from someone 
with a relevant commercial product. I doubt we'd turn away Icom or 
Kenwood if they had a new radio to show us.
