Given correct software support (NIMM, DXLabs etc.) and quality support and
service (you lot) this will make life a bit unpleasant for other
manufacturers. Not just the quality and price but the fact that this radio
really is an 'amateur radio' - designed for, by and with an enthusiastic
bunch of would-be users. The one thing I think is essential is a panoramic
display.
Myself, I have never before been so motivated to add software support for a
radio.
I agree - I also hope that you and other SW providers might be able to
consider the Linux platform as well as Windows. Ubuntu is bringing
Linux into shacks and homes that a year or two ago would have
considered Linux as too difficult and too geeky.
I have to keep a WinXP system just for HRD, Logger32 et al - be nice
to avoid the need for two systems.
Hopefully initiatives like the Lazarus project (a Delphi-clone on
Linux) are going to start making it easier for software developers to
provide better support.
Looking forward to the K3 (but waiting until 2008 when I can buy one
off the shelf and personally hand carry it home from the US)
