Er, we may be running the risk of extending the thread too much, so I'll be brief and will strongly consider going QRT on the thread after this post hi hi.
Anyway, yes perhaps a $200 netbook is enough but the point is a) that expenditure is not optional with an SDR and b) may be a minimal configuration for many folks. neither is the case with the K3. You don't have to use a computer at all to SWL with a K3 if you don't want to. Everything you need to fully exploit the radio goes right in the box with no (or very little) extra fiddling and hidden costs. You might have to update the FW from time to time and that's about it. But that's just my take on it, I'd rather play with a radio when doing amateur radio and not a computer hi hi. 73, LS W5QD -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Any-Consideration-of-a-Receive-Only-K3-tp4704530p4716669.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
