I haven't yet had a chance to watch the video but I wonder if Hans has
made available a pdf of his presentation?
I didn't or should I say I have not yet purchased a QCX. When they were
first introduced I waited while others had their chance to get theirs as
I as usual already had many projects on the go and felt I could do
without yet another for a while. Now that Hans has caught up with demand
for QCX and this new one is on the horizon, I hesitate on the QCX as
this new one would be better suited to my needs with respect to it's
digimode receive capability.
Interesting times indeed as someone already noted.
cheers, Graham ve3gtc

* Two mic jacks: Android/iPhone type and RJ45
* USB jack for direct keyboard and CAT control
* CW, PSK31 and RTTY decoding w/o computer
* Built-in sound card for FT8 and other digimodes
* SMD parts are pre-installed
* 90 page very detailed and illustrated manual
* Built-in test equipment for alignment
* Drilled, punched and labeled enclosure will be an option
