EE Times recently ran an interesting article on cognitive radio. I think that some of the ideas in the article could be applied to amateur radio. For example, wouldn’t it be cool to have a radio that monitors beacons on say 10m or 6m, and then alerts you when the bands are open? It seems to me that the radios already exist have the hardware to do that. The manufacturers just have to program those features in. What other “cognitive” features would you like to see in ham radio transceivers?
