[Elecraft] SDR processing delays, Flex 5000

[Tim Heasman]

Hi All,

I bought a used flex sdr 1000 whilst waiting for a K3, and would agree with 
Steve.
It does however make a good modem for digi modes!
That was a mission in itself getting the virtual connections etc to 
function.
I found it almost impossible to send Morse, although Power SDR v 12 seems a 
bit better.
I am hoping that the K3 will make a worthy successor to my elderly TT 
Corsair II
