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.
