[Elecraft] K4 DSP bit width

A friend and I were discussing the K4HD and he said that it sounds a lot like the K3S. Well, we both agreed that since the K3S has world class receiver specs, that would not be a bad thing. I started comparing the information about the K4HD with the K3S manual and found: K3S K4HD

Rich, Yes, a Winkeyer and AFSK using the K3s's built in sound card seems to really work well. I've had no problems using this set up, and I believe that the additional filtering in the K3s when using AFSK does help. N1MM macros seem to like the Winkeyer and requires nothing special to
