Interesting. Can you explain how exactly you define "DSP horsepower"? Is there evidence that K3 does not have enough "DSP horsepower"? Are you sure the current K3 DSP software used full potential of the TI DSP chip? If we talking about processing, somewhere I heard that KX3 use 24 bit sigma-delta ADC. Now that is something new with potential. If I remember correctly, the K3 uses 16 bit codec. I am a little skeptical that 24 bit SD will give measurable advantage over 16 bit ADC in ham radio application. I guess at some point it will be measured. 73, Igor, N1YX

This buzzphrase is also used by other manufacturers to tout their DSPs, but I can't find any similar description of the DSP hardware in the K3. To raise again a point that was mentioned yesterday: if there's a potential for getting more DSP horsepower in the K3, I'm sure that many K3 owners would happily pay for a retrofit.
