K3 Wiki

[Don Rasmussen]

One day I'd like to see a K3 wiki.

Contributer experts could weigh in on individual
topics such as:

* DSP/AGC - suggested settings based on band, mode,
signal strength.
* Diversity receive - how to best use the subreceiver.
N1EU stuff.
* Noise Blanking - settings based on the noise source.

* Transverter topics - how to hook up a Down East
Microwave device, etc.
* Bandscope and SoftRock - how to keep noise off both
ends of the connection. New bandscope solutions.
* Interfacing hardware from other manufacturers - Band
Pass filters, Noise cancellers, digital.
* RS232 Control and programs.
* Contest configurations, software and hardware.
* ESSB - and wide standard mode SSB, AM.
* Binaural effects.
* Many other topics that could be addressed starting
from an introductory level up to advanced and specific
cases.

I'm not offering to host this but do see the value of
having a common, user maintained K3 resource outside
of the Elecraft list and outside of the
www.elecraft.com K3 FAQ.
Having one place to reference first, before going
through megabytes of archives looking for that needle
in a haystack would be a real time saver and might
even take some K3 traffic off the reflector.

YES - forget forums - run it all on Twiki - we run my entire team in Twiki,
and although that team only consists of 6 of us, we service ~ 500 people.

Interesting....Julian and I started a forum to cover such discussions...lots of
folks have signed up, few have posted.

I'm hesitant to start a Wiki, based on the lack of support for a web based
froum.

One of the problem with the Wiki is that anyone can post to it and anyone can
change th posts of others...and so who would stand up and volunteer to ride herd
to insure that all the information posted was correct.

Not necessarily.  The HPSDR wiki and AMSAT's Eaglepedia are two examples of
ham-related wikis lwhich imit access for posting/editing, but provide
unlimited access for viewing.

Yes, and Twiki (if not Wiki) provide security controls for who can view/edit
etc, so the owner of a topic can nominate who can edit - which is great for
'official' articles etc.
Peer pressure is a wonderful thing and used for a limited site like this,
would most likely work quite well enough.

But, lets not start a huge long debate on this reflector - the idea has been
put forward, maybe Elecraft will wish to follow it up.
