Well stated points. SDR is incorporated increasingly into commercial radio products where I think the norm is an internal processor. Not being a computer geek, just a moderately knowledgeable user, I wonder if some kind of partitioning of a generic computer used for SDR could solve many of these issues? I would guess a start would be eliminating web access and browsers/e-mail clients. Would Linux be a better choice over windows OS? Or a separate OS launched from a partition? Just musing on the topic.
I am VERY HAPPY that IQ port was provided on the KX3 so that alternative SDR programs resident on a computer may be used and played with. BUT one reason I chose my K3 was that it runs independent of a computer (the other choice was the Flex-5000, which I am learning was not what I wanted). Looking forward to receipt of my new KX3! 73, Ed - KL7UW, WD2XSH/45 ====================================== BP40IQ 500 KHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com EME: 50-1.1kw?, 144-1.4kw, 432-QRT, 1296-?, 3400-?
