[Elecraft] K3 or SDR-5000?

[Dale Boresz]

This is not accurate.

I am simultaneously running a FLEX-5000A and an SDR-1000 (w/Delta44 
soundcard) with two separate instances of PowerSDR on an 'old' Pentium 
P4 3.0 GHz machine running XP-Pro.

CPU usage with *both* radios running averages 33% (as viewed by the 
Performance monitor:  Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > 
Performance).  The FLEX-5000A contributes about 17% and the SDR-1000 
about 16% .
