Interesting... Not knowing much about the architecture, isn't most of the hardware already on board to send samples out the USB?
Looking at the KX3 block diagram [1], I'm curious why you couldn't move digital I/Q samples from the DSP to the PIC, then in/out to the USB port. While I'm sure the existing I/Q port would work for me, its always nice to be lazy and use one cable. :) 1. http://www.elecraft.com/manual/KX3%20Manual%20Block%20Diagram.pdf On Fri, Dec 30, 2016 at 2:15 PM, Don Wilhelm <[email protected]> wrote: > Dave, > > I seriously doubt it.
