HDSDR, freeware written by I2PHD and now maintained by a German group (www.hdsdr.de 
). But it should work with any package that supports receive I/Q  
signals.

Not yet. But note that the KX3 supports the same rich remote-control  
command set as the K3, which means it will work with HRD and other  
third-party applications.

We'll have KX3 Utility which is used for firmware loading, general  
configuration, and command testing. We might offer other applications  
in the future.

EMU 0202, $100 typical (used), USB external.
