Doesn't your speculation presume that all the noise reduction functionality IS IN HARDWARE? Last I looked at the K3 functionality, all the NR is in PROGRAM CODE, not burned into hardware chips. Go read the schematic. And since Wayne has been good about keeping up K3 firmware, why would he code something new in the KX3 and not use the code and/or concept in the K3 to extend the product life? I smell analog thinking.
Possibly if it does do something because more processing power is available, that's progress in the electronics industry, not some evil Elecraft conspiracy. AND retrofitting a newer CPU in existing equipment is extremely expensive. Upgraded circuit board, TWO paths of firmware development instead of one, etc, etc. Be careful when you compare Wayne to Yakencom. He REALLY does not deserve that. 73, Guy.
