Wayne mentioned that Elecraft is using the newest Analog Devices 32-bit DSP.
That is likely the 3rd generation Super Harvard Architecture (SHARC) family of programmable DSPs. http://www.analog.com/en/processors-dsp/sharc/products/index.html IF so, be curious which specific unit Elecraft chose -- ADSP-2116N ? which is the newest member of the SHARC family. http://www.analog.com/en/processors-dsp/sharc/ADSP-21161N/products/product.html w9gb -----Original Message----- I note that Wayne makes a point of the fact that the DSP in the KX3 is 32-bit, floating point. This buzz phrase 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.
