[Elecraft] I've been thinking!

[Fred Smith]

Having ran a couple of true SDR's I decided that I did not like one for a
radio that I had to use all the time. They fell short on receivers for one
thing and were tied to a computer for another. The computer caused another
set of problems itself and the fact no power no radio. The last one I used
was SRD-IQ and it was used as a Panadpter for my FTDX-5000MP there again a
computer was required.

For me a computer is required in the shack, but just not for use as a main
radio. JMHO...

Dave,

I agree that the K3 is an SDR by definition, one of the many reasons I was
an early adoptee.

Having said that, is there a front end software package that emulates all of
the K3 FW settings, provides a good SDR like screen such as PowerSDR etc,
that has been developed for the K3?

I know a lot of Flex users will roll their eyes at such a thought but as I
have not come across one I was just wondering........

I prefer the K3 as it is but some may like the Flex way of operating.
