Ashhar - I will not use the touch screen feature.? I have the
official keyboard/mouse combo for my Pi, and that is what I will
use.? i may use the mouse as a pointer to the on-screen keyboard
for commands, but I will use the keyboard in its "normal" fashion
for actually entering values, or text for transmission.? It isn't
very likely that I will use an actual key or paddles for CW,
although I do have one.? The keyboard is just more convenient and
easier, and my "CW ear" is a bit rusty.
Regarding my sBit shipment:? The latest info from DHL is that it
is in Bangalore.? I got the billing from DHL for the Canadian
sales tax & it has been paid online.? DHL says delivery on
Monday Aug 8, but I suspect they may do better.
Regarding the Meanwell LRS-150-12 power supply:? I emailed
Meanwell to see if it is necessary to derate the output current if
the output voltage is turned up beyond 12.5 volts.? Derating is
necessary.
I have had my Pi working with a secondary display.? Will document
this and submit it when all is done.

1. Increasingly, a vertical spectrum and waterfall display
makes sense to me. We can stream the text being? decoded
against each frequency. Much like the CW skimmer et al.
2. The on-display keyboard. The current keyboard is too
small for actual touch typing. Should we keep it such that on
a button, it overlays the bottom area and then vanishes when
done? That way we will get more real-estate to put other
things in.
3. I seem to mostly use the bandswitches, mode and audio
control. Should others also be hidden to be on-demand?
These will clear up the screen for more interesting things
like a signal browser, etc.
Let's slug it out.
