Mozilla Thunderbird has a button for "Reply to List" in addition to
the "Reply" and "Reply All" buttons. It does exactly what the
original poster wants, I believe.

Elecraft at NEARfest (Deerfield NH)?

Eugene Balinski
In reply to this post by Ken G Kopp
Does anyone know  if Elecraft will be at the big NEARfest
fleamarket in Deerfield, NH, April 29 & 30 ?

I'll address this one more time and then let it rest.

SDR = Software Defined Radio.  (i.e. the software defines it).  The
software is "in fact" the radio.

It has been a long tradition of ham radio to being able to "build
it", yourself.  For SDR that includes the software.  If a commercial
SDR is not open-source it loses part of what being a SDR is all about for hams.

That being said, not many hams "build-it" anymore so, thankfully,
Elecraft has given considerable attention to the sw (firmware).  That
is lacking in a lot of other SDR ventures.  It also seems ham radio
is split into: "programing capable hams" and the rest of us.

And one more footnote on my project.  I would have had to go with an
outside SDR to obtain wide-bandwidth, in any case.  the 15-KHz second
IF restricts what can be done with wide bw modes or displays.  Even
Elecraft recognizes this with using the 1st IF for the P3.

I think that should finish this topic, OK?

I don't see anywhere in the definition of SDR that the software has
to open source.  If you wish to develop your own SDR software, the
LP-PAN is a perfect add on to allow you access to the IQ outputs for
developing your own software or modifying existing open source software.

In reply to this post by Geoffrey Wolf AB3LS

With all this talk of forums I had another thought.  What about seminars  
or tutorials?  We go through many email cycles on the list but how about  
more directed sessions?

1) Set up for your K2, K1, KX1, or K3 on CW for DXing, contesting, or  
ragchewing.
2) Set up for your K2, K1, KX1, or K3 on some digital mode for CW for  
DXing, contesting, or ragchewing.
3) Set up for your K2, K1, KX1, or K3 on SSB for CW for DXing, contesting,  
or ragchewing.
etc.

The tutorials could be written by experienced folks in any of the various  
areas of approximately one page in length.  I am sure those will stir many  
question and answer sessions.

Seminars could be run by announcing a topic and then having various list  
members submit articles on the topic.  Again followed by question and  
answer periods.

All of these will be limited in how long they last by our Fearless  
Moderator Eric.

Respectfully submitted,
    73,
       Kevin.  KD5ONS

In reply to this post by Geoffrey Wolf AB3LS
I did not do a lot in the contest but just had some fun.

I really had to tighten down the filters to hear anything.

What I noticed is that you really had to be on the exact frequency when
the filters are tight to hear anything clearly.   I did notice that
folks were trying to call back and they were off frequency and the copy
was difficult.

I was able to get fast contacts because I believe that I was carefully
matching the calling stations frequency.

Anyway I have had a lot of fun.

This idea has been brought up before but I suspect it hasn't been done
because it's labor intensive and needs a devoted and experienced developer
to keep the audience glued to their screens.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Forums?


With all this talk of forums I had another thought.  What about seminars  
or tutorials?  We go through many email cycles on the list but how about  
more directed sessions?

1) Set up for your K2, K1, KX1, or K3 on CW for DXing, contesting, or  
ragchewing.
2) Set up for your K2, K1, KX1, or K3 on some digital mode for CW for  
DXing, contesting, or ragchewing.
3) Set up for your K2, K1, KX1, or K3 on SSB for CW for DXing, contesting,  
or ragchewing.
etc.

The tutorials could be written by experienced folks in any of the various  
areas of approximately one page in length.  I am sure those will stir many  
question and answer sessions.

Seminars could be run by announcing a topic and then having various list  
members submit articles on the topic.  Again followed by question and  
answer periods.

All of these will be limited in how long they last by our Fearless  
Moderator Eric.

Respectfully submitted,
    73,
       Kevin.  KD5ONS

Re: Forums?

at which point, if I remember correctly,
someone brought up the idea that,
to not over burden any one individual,
why not try an open source styled 'wiki like' platform
and build the tutorials as a community effort
many said yea and agreed (in theory),
others felt it could get out of hand ....

which brings us full circle to:
a wiki was tried before and due to lack of participation
it was removed from the guys server as a waste of space and effort

maybe the tutorial idea,
just needs someone with the energy.
to push it as it's head guy,
as well as someone that can stir up folks to participate

(and who isn't a full time student,
needing to hone their knowledge base,
for application on future employment issues), hi hi.

I think in Debian speak,
it's called 'having the ability to herd cats'
(sadly I think Linus Torvald already has a project he's working on)

On freq does matter.  Resisting the urge to mash the PTT instantly by a
couple of seconds also works well.  I thought a long time before giving
this secret away on the list :-)

Let's end this thread.

As noted, the nabble archive of the Elecraft list does an excellent job of providing a web based searchable and organized real time copy of this list. Searchng on 'forum' will yield alethora of past discussion on this topic ;-) We will not be changing the format of the list any time soon.

I had one online.....it was not used.  Asking about a forum in a
mailing list might
be like asking attendees at the camp meeting about Zen study groups.

That being said....I operate both a mailing list and a forum for RL
Drake users at www.zerobeat.net.
Very few of the mailing list members join the forum, and vice
versa.  There are a few of
us crazies that do walk both sides of the street.
