First of all thanks to Tony (K2ZLS) for his initial posting which gave me
the chance to post my ideas i am working on.
Also thanks for all the constructive input.
Please let me explain what my idea is, to prevent any misunderstanding...
;o)
What this should NOT be about, is to work against Elecraft !
So what ever method we will use to get the information into the K3 should be
along the offical path...
Our methods can evolve with the development of the K3 firmware.
Maybe our work is able to support Simon and the Elecrafters to develop an
even more impressive Hard/Software combination.
Here is my summarization of your emails:
---------------
I think we all agreed to use XML for the interchange format.
There are many tools, libraries, ... available for the most common
languages and IDEs used on different OperatingSystems.
If David (PA3HBB) would make a webpage to handle the XML-File (even
converting to/from HTML, ASCII,...? by using XSLT)
anyone would be free to develop tools in her/his preferred environment.
Also a central Database, accessible via web, to collect and manage (merge ?)
the different configurations would be possible (David ?).
----------------
Dick (K6KR) gave us a little 'warning' about the complexity...
----------------
Based on the current available CAT commands, deleting memories will not be
possible.
Only overwriting one/all memories with a defined value will be possible
----------------
To start with the configuration should be easy.
The memories may need a bit investigation (as Dick mentioned...)
----------------
We have to be more precise how we will handle different firmware level of
the K3.
Is it possible to include different firmware level into one XML-config-file
?
----------------
....
Each XML-File should contain these fields:
version of the used XML-File-Definition
lowest supported K3 firmware
highest supported K3 firmware
....
