Dave,

First of all, the audio for digital operations needs to come from the phones and mic lines. The RX I/Q is taken off before any DSP Processing so the bandwidth is not restricted by the filtering done in the KX3. In other words, the RX I/Q is not simply audio - it may be at baseband, but it is not the audio output of the KX3 - the post filtering audio and the pre-filtering baseband signals come from two different points in the receive chain and would have to be switched depending on whether you wanted a panadapter application or a digital mode application.

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.  :)
