Having ran a couple of true SDR's I decided that I did not like one for a radio that I had to use all the time. They fell short on receivers for one thing and were tied to a computer for another. The computer caused another set of problems itself and the fact no power no radio. The last one I used was SRD-IQ and it was used as a Panadpter for my FTDX-5000MP there again a computer was required.
For me a computer is required in the shack, but just not for use as a main radio.

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. 73's Gary On 23 December 2012 14:23, David Gilbert <[email protected]> wrote: > > 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. > > Dave AB7E > > > On 12/22/2012 6:08 PM, Bob wrote: > >> >> Since the K3 is not an SDR (the way of the future) >> >> Bob VE3UK >> www.MagLoop.com >> > > ______________________________**______________________________**__ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: > http://mailman.qth.net/**mailman/listinfo/elecraft<http://mailman.qth. > net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft> > Help: > http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.**htm<http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm> > Post: mailto:[email protected].**net <[email protected]> > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email > list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > -- *Gary - VK1ZZ Motorhome Portable The Shack* *Elecraft K3 P3 Panadapter KPA500FT KAT500FT** KX3-K * ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
