K3 ain't your daddy's analog radio...

Incoming signals are handled as analog signals until they are
converted to a 15 kHz IF.  At that point the analog is converted to
digital.  All the rest is done in firmware as part of the number soup.
 Calling firmware functions IF or AF is really a misnomer.  All the
neat stuff is done BEFORE the number soup is converted to an actual AF
voltage. APF number soup, NR digital soup, DSP number soup...

I suppose you could say that some of the numbers were AF numbers and
some of them were IF numbers?

73, Guy
