Been reading the mail on this topic. My take is that the K3 and K3S do not provide external access to the IQ digital stream so one cannot run any other software on a computer interconnected to the radios. Firmware is held under Elecraft control and not open source, and one would have to download using the Elecraft Utility. Had the K3 provided IQ access my dual-pol adaptive receiver design would have been simpler/easier. But listening to their customer base, Elecraft provided external interface of KX3 IQ baseband audio so one could try any number of SDR programs in one's computer (interconnected thru the soundcard to the radio). KX2 may also provide this (I am not enough familiar with details for this radio). I have not made the IQ interface for my KX3 (as yet), but will do so someday. But as others have pointed out, several SDR are now out in the market which one can "play with" open source sw. 73, Ed - KL7UW http://www.kl7uw.com Dubus-NA Business mail: [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
