I am compiling a product development requirements document for a consortium
of companies that intends to develop, manufacture and market the "ULITMATE
Ham Radio Station Control System."
If you would like to have an expandable station control system to select TX
and RX antennas, SO2R, , have more than one radio share TX and RX Antennas,
switch Audio In, Audio Out, Keying Leads, distribute 12 and 24 volt DC and
most any and all other functions to make your station the ultimate in
flexibility and control using mouse clicks, touch screen push buttons and
custom assignable labels what would your wish list contain? The system will
consist of a common mounting shelf that will house plug in card modules. To
expand or add additional functions the user will simply purchase function
cards, plug them in the shelf, make plug in connections and set
configuration options.
If you care to participate, I would appreciate receiving a "Bullet Type Wish
List" e-mail with your list. At this point, I don't need details, simply a
"Wish List"
(Examples)
* Up to 10 TX Antennas shared with 2 radios
* Up to 8 RX Antennas share with 2 radios
* Control of current off the shelf remote coax switches
* Remote relays over Blue Tooth or 802.11, RS-232 and/or cable pairs
* Be able to use K-3 or XYZ Radio to drive a KPA 500 or any other
amplifier with a touch of a button or mouse click to switch Amp In,
Audio/Key/ALC
* Have Lock Out if a particular antenna is selected - Ant 1 for TX and
Ant 2 for RX, etc.
* One button change from SO1R to SO2R
* Switch one set of paddles to two different keyers
* Key two radios at the same time
* "What else?"
There is virtually no end to what the wish list may contain but please be
realistic in what you would consider useful and you would consider
purchasing if it fit your needs and the price was right...
Thanks & 73,
Jack
