According to the K3 Owner's Manual, the K3 uses a 24-bit ADC. From the schematic, it appears to be the Burr-Brown PCM1804DB, a very nice part.
Bob NW8L -----Original Message----- 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 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
