New product opportunity

With the upcoming release of the KAT500, I was thinking that the K-line
would look slightly asymmetrical with the tuner sat on top of either the K3 or the Amp. So, how about a matching unit to the KAT500 to balance it all up? It could house a series of forward facing buttons which could be band stacking registers, extra macro keys etc? How about it guys? 73 Ian -- Ian J Maude, G0VGS SysOp GB7MBC & HB9DRV-9 DX Clusters Member RSGB, GQRP 9838, FISTS 14077 | K3 #455 http://www.m0scg.org.uk ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Or even a KAT500 size box so I could build my own switch box.

I think we already had our hint, when it was mentioned that the KAT500
was the same height as the W2. 1.5" high station monitor, anyone? To REALLY put the nail in the coffin (Yaesu, cough, cough) it could have stereo speakers (ducks boat anchors lobbed at him). 73, -- Dave, N8SBE > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] New product opportunity > From: Jim Rhodes <[hidden email]> > Date: Wed, November 23, 2011 8:36 am > To: Ian Maude <[hidden email]> > Cc: Elecraft List <[hidden email]> > > > Or even a KAT500 size box so I could build my own switch box. > > Jim K0XU Sent from my Xoom tablet > On Nov 23, 2011 2:45 AM, "Ian Maude" <[hidden email]> wrote: > > > With the upcoming release of the KAT500, I was thinking that the K-line > > would look slightly asymmetrical with the tuner sat on top of either the K3 > > or the Amp.

Or how about a selection of colours other than boring black for everything? I can then co-ordinate it all to the decor in my shack.....
C'mon Ian, you're making it sound more like feng shui than amateur radio..! 73, Stewart, GW0ETF "I look inside myself and see my heart is black I see my red door and it has been painted black Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black ...."

The K1, K2 and XV series of transverters were a distinctive dark grey
(gray) by which the mojo Elecraft products were easily identified. Unfortunately, things turned to black when the KX1 was introduced. Despite black often being associated with death, Elecraft gave its reasons at the time. Personally I was sorry to see the change to black which makes the equipment less distinguishable from the opposition. On the other hand, as far as coordinating with the decor in you shack, one could say that black goes with anything (except black). 73 de David G4DMP In a recent message, GW0ETF <[hidden email]> writes > >Or how about a selection of colours other than boring black for everything?

Actually Stewart, I was making a serious suggestion, especially regarding
the band stacking. Nothing wrong with symmetry either ;) 73 Ian -- Ian J Maude, G0VGS SysOp GB7MBC & HB9DRV-9 DX Clusters Member RSGB, GQRP 9838, FISTS 14077 | K3 #455 http://www.m0scg.org.uk On 25 November 2011 10:54, GW0ETF <[hidden email]> wrote: > Or how about a selection of colours other than boring black for > everything?
