[Elecraft] DSP

[Igor Kosvin]

Interesting. Can you explain how exactly you define "DSP horsepower"? Is
there evidence that K3 does not have enough "DSP horsepower"? Are you sure
the current K3 DSP software used full potential of the TI DSP chip?
If we talking about processing, somewhere I heard that KX3 use 24 bit
sigma-delta ADC. Now that is something new with potential. If I remember
correctly, the K3 uses 16 bit codec. I am a little skeptical that 24 bit SD
will give measurable advantage over 16 bit ADC in ham radio application. I
guess at some point it will be measured.

I note that Wayne makes a point of the fact that the DSP in the KX3 is
32-bit, floating point. This buzzphrase is also used by other manufacturers
to tout their DSPs, but I can't find any similar description of the  DSP
hardware in the K3. To raise again a point that was mentioned yesterday: if
there's a potential for getting more DSP horsepower in the K3, I'm sure that
many K3 owners would happily pay for a retrofit.
