Hello Wayne, are you still planning "to get it out of the box"?
tnx Volker DL4ZBG -----Original-Nachricht----- Betreff: Re: [Elecraft] P3IQ Datum: 2018-07-28T18:45:02+0200 Von: "Wayne Burdick" <[email protected]> An: "David Gilbert" <[email protected]> To use the P3’s I/Q signals with software applications, you have to format the data like a USB sound card, a standard that is widely used and requires no special drivers. A significant amount of firmware is required at the P3 end, but we’re definitely looking at this. In answer to an earlier question: The P3 uses a very high-performance A-to-D converter, so the I/Q stream will have excellent dynamic characteristics (once we get it out of the box :) Wayne N6KR > On Jul 28, 2018, at 9:31 AM, David Gilbert <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I never understood why the P3 didn't have I/Q outputs in the first place, and > I remember pleading for them well before the P3 was finalized.
