KX3 netbook

[ac0h]

Could we make it stand on one leg while cooking breakfast and sing
the national anthem while we're at it? Whoops, don't want to be US
centric so lets make it capable of singing ALL national anthems.

.....It's just a little programming...right?

How about adding Bluetooth stereo audio, microphone, keyboard, and serial profiles to the KX3?

The HFPack crowd would like this to, as I opined earlier.  Stick radio in back, operate remotely from hand-held device (homebrew or commercial).

My ASUS 1000HE netbook has a stereo mic input.
But no RS232 interface.
I also dual-boot Linux and WinXP.

There's a good chance the KX3 will come with a serial control cable  
that goes straight from RS232/TTL at the KX3 end to USB at the PC end,  
without an additional adapter. We're exploring this option.

Remember that if all you want is serial control, a simple TRS 1/8-inch
plug and jack would save panel real estate and do that just fine -- IF
it's bonded to the chassis to avoid a pin 1 problem. Doesn't provide for
CW on DTR or PTT on RTS though. :)

Besides netbooks, Charles Scharlau made an excellent SDR/panadapter for Ipad/Ipod.
It's an App called iSDR.

A small IQ audio to USB adapter "dongle" would make this a nice add-on for KX3 in the field!
