Suggest you look at:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/....amateur/about There you will se that there are less than 100 users of this NG of which only 10 are regular posters (of which you are one). The other nine all hate you, so I'd say your chances are slim to none (and Slim's on holiday). |

Greteings, one and all!

Anyone propounding to know anything about developments in amateur (not 'HAM') radio during the past decade who doesn't know anything about the K2 is of course not worth the space he takes up: and most certainly not the air that he breaths. To paraphrase poor Airy - the Ignorant Prat reveals his true nature every time he opens his mouth. Regards, Mr Wibble |

Mr.Westcott once again demonstrates his infantile personality.

I wonder why Mr.Reay pours scorn on a proposal
which perhaps he himself ought to have come up with bearing in mind his regular _BOASTING_ about how important he perceives himself to be in the training of newcomers? Is it because he is tetchy (to use his own phrase) that he didn't think of the idea first? Perhaps, bearing in mind his recent boasts about share dealings, he has shares in Waters And Stanton? Either way, his rather silly and infantile sneering below does seem to suggest that he is irrelevant to the future of _REAL_ Ham Radio; and of no value to any scheme for beginners.

However, what is to be gained by re-inventing a (in radio terms) stone age design? Thinks like computer control provide added challenge and attraction to the idea, why dismiss them? They could always be add-ons. DSP. Oh dear. I assume this phasing technique relies on Big K. Or maybe he just meant mixing, an existing technique not needing DSP. |

Whatever you say about your K2, it is a proprietary design,
and thus no different from the YaesKenIcom products, and therefore is off-the-shelf The essence of Ham Radio is that we produce and maintain our own designs and are not beholden to any commercial operation that has its sights set on the shekels. I'm not interested in a comparison with commercial gear. The idea is to design a transceiver that is easily reproducible by beginners, and which is future-proofed by having the interface between stages well-specified so that you could, for example, substitute your own mixing stages. "gb" wrote in message ... "Airy R.Bean" wrote in message ... I'm not proposing anything like that. I don't know anything about the K2. You seem to have missed the point somewhat, if your thoughts go straight to what you can buy off the shelf. Not "off the shelf" product. I am very surprised that you are unaware of Elecraft (founded in 1998) by Wayne Burdick (N6KR) and Eric Swartz (WA6HHQ). They are the design team dedicated to "hands-on" ham radio transceivers and accessories that can easily be built by amateurs. I don't follow URL's from Usenet - it is a bad debating style to send your correspondents off to do reading. if you have something of value to say, then please say it yourself. I guess you do not read hobby print magazine or had a contact with an Elecraft user. Elecraft (and its concept) of building and reparing your won equipment has been widely covered in amateur print magazines in Europe, Far East and US. Debating is not the point and usenet is not the forum for true debate. Compare your stated specifications and criteria to the Elecraft K2 design team's criteria and specs --- you shoudl discover that it meets the majority of your stated criteria. gb "Airy R. Bean" wrote in message ... .....is that we club together and conceive of a design for an HF transceiver that could form the basis of the station of any budding Radio Ham. We wouldn't need any facilities other than were present in, say, the KW2000 of 35 years ago (apart from greater than 200 kHz coverage on each band!) None of the CBer's facilities such as scanners, memories, CAT interfaces, CTCSS and the like are necessary. I suggest that we consider a DSP approach for all the baseband mod and demod, and then phasing techniques for translating into the various bands. A power output of 5W will be more than sufficient for any self-respecting _REAL_ Radio Hams - it is only CBers and CBers-Masquerading-As-Radio-Hams who need to work with BBC levels of signal strength. Such a project could be what we need to capture the interest of newcomers who would not then be sidetracked into the CB-like purchasing of brand-new rigs from the shelves of emporia, and, having, constructed their own rigs, would feel competent to maintain those rigs, unlike those who send them back to the emporia and thus show themselves as closet CBers. We _COULD_ take a lead in this NG! ... and your thoughts on the existing Elecraft K2 (which meetings you power output criteria), which has almost 5,000 kits of this model now sold worldwide? http://www.elecraft.com/ Do you desire to build upon this kit and building experience (referred to as "K3" designs among Elecraft builders) by adding additional features you have mentioned? gb |

Hmm..... only 6 replies and only one in anything that
might be construed as a positive response, and that one was pretty defeatist. Perhaps Ham Radio has degenerated in to becoming an offshoot of CB Radio in Yankland as well as in Britland? "Airy R.

The alternate conclusion of course, might well be simply that your fame preceeds you Airhead. In truth, if you only read your own National magazine that you profess so much dislike for, you would find that they recently carried for some 20 months a construction article having every feature you have supposedly considered. Done by amateurs for amateurs and surpassing in most features, anything offered commercially at any price. You're very good Airhead, you are the only one on any newsgroup that I subscribe to that can raise my blood pressure just by reading your byline. Fortunately, I am blessed with low blood pressure and can stand it, but to absolutely preclude any possible ill side effects, you are now entering my kill file zone.

A rather silly and childish broadcast (CB) from you.

That Mr.Reay rejoices at insults but not at
technical proposals serves to illustrate once again that nobody who holds, or who has ever held, a licence issued under the gangrenous degeneration that is the M3/CB Fools' Licence scheme will _EVER_ make it into the ranks of _REAL_ Radio Hams with their gentlemanly traditions.
