P3 future features

[tom kenville]

Eric &co.

observing that there is some indication of keyboard on rear of P3,
is it your intention to provide support for (example) a complete PSK QSO ?

if so, features that come to mind
  - display of received text
  - area to type/compose sent text
  - CQ, QRZ and 73 macro's
  - some type of internal logging that could be uploaded to computer

also, neat if some type of X:Y tuning pattern was available !

Simple, but would begin to wean the radio from the computer

Hi Tom,

I definitely want to add a readout on the P3 for the K3 text decoder.
As soon as I have time (pant, pant!).

I think a "plus sign" tuning indicator would be way cool, especially if
I can make it look slightly sloppy to imitate the CRT analog tuning
indicators on TTY demods of old.

I like the idea of being able to operate RTTY or PSK with the K3/P3 from
the field without a computer.  I find that sending RTTY with the key
paddle works fine, but the 7-character display on the K3 is a
limitation.  Text readout on the P3 would fix that problem.

A keyboard option would be great too.  You can get a miniature USB
keyboard without the numeric keypad etc. that doesn't take up too much
space.

Too many cool features, too little time...
