[Elecraft] K3: DRM listening?

[David Pratt]

Could the 8.215MHz output from the IF OUT jack be fed to a simple mixer 
with a 8.203 or 8.227MHz crystal to provide a 12kHz i.f.?

I have used this method very successfully on the Sangean ATS-803A and 
Lowe HF-225 receivers with both DReaM v.1.6.1cvs and DRM Software Radio 
v2.0.38 programs.  But this was by converting the 455kHz i.f. to 12kHz.
