It's not completely clear from the K3/0-mini documentation (which is
rather high-level), but it appears that it only has a TTL interface
(for connection to the RemoteRig box), and not RS232, so you wouldn't
be able to directly connect it to a K3 using a null modem cable, as

I did experiment with this concept a couple of years ago. At the
remote site, I captured I/Q from a LP-Pan to a sound card, using ulaw,
and streamed that to the local PC, where I fed it (via VAC, I think)
into some SDR software (maybe NaP3). It worked, but it was a
bandwidth-hog. To get 192kHz
Two channels of 16-bit 192kHz audio compressed with FLAC should use around
500kbits/s. That is a chunk of bandwidth, but it is fairly reasonable for a
remote site. Lossy compression would use less bandwidth, but it would put an
artificial noise floor on the spectrum display. Probably not a good

Just curious. The synthesizer uses a DDS which feeds the PLL circuit. The DDS
output is filtered through a 4 pole crystal filter to remove spurs. So why use
a DDS at all? The only thing I can figure is that a DDS always has lower phase
noise than the DDS reference oscillator. Is this why?
Jim
The PLL provides coarse tuning steps only. The DDS provides fine tuning steps.
The DDS crystal filter removes spurs from the DDS, which would otherwise be
seen in the PLL's output. (Many radios use DDS directly, with no PLL, leading
to unwanted spurious responses in both RX and TX.)
The PLL's
I believe that is the case.

My idea was similar -- a box containing a transceiver and wireless link with an
antenna on top. All you would need to provide is power (could be solar) and
wireless signal (could be 3G).
The box could be placed on the roof of your house, a nearby tall building, or a

Hi Mike,
1) If you are considering using the optional sub-RX for diversity

Sorry for my confusion, I was thinking IQ as the usable form of IF at the

send and receive the IQ data, then simply use the control stations computer
