That's a user interface issue, not a functional issue. Cell phones, for
example, are SDRs ... some have buttons, some have keyboards, some have
touch (i.e., "swipe") screens, etc ... but they are all fundamentally
SDRs. If you want to criticize the K3 because Elecraft didn't provide a
different user interface, fine ... but there is no such thing as a
"SDR-like screen". The term SDR has nothing to do with the user interface.
And no, I don't know of any front end package that would do what you
suggest since there is no port on the K3 to access the data lines you'd
need for it.

Dave,
I agree that the K3 is an SDR by definition, one of the many reasons I
was an early adoptee.
Having said that, is there a front end software package that emulates
all of the K3 FW settings, provides a good SDR like screen such as
PowerSDR etc, that has been developed for the K3?
I know a lot of Flex users will roll their eyes at such a thought but
as I have not come across one I was just wondering........
I prefer the K3 as it is but some may like the Flex way of operating.

Please explain why you think the K3 is not a software defined
radio. By every definition of SDR that I'm aware of, the K3 most
certainly is.

Since the K3 is not an SDR (the way of the future)
