Re: [Elecraft] Comparison: K3 and SDR 5000A

As I understand it, latency is no longer an issue. Latency issues with the early versions of PowerSDR and the SDR-1000 have been resolved. That being said, signal processing latency is a fact of life for all digital radios. We are talking microseconds, I beg to differ. Latency (delay) in a

I placed my order in late Sept. That puts me squarely in the 3rd production run but prior to the Oct 1 date. Could it be that they're saying only orders after Oct 1 are scheduled for early Jan but earlier 3rd run orders are still targeted for Dec? I think there is a LOT of stuff to happen
