[Elecraft] Understanding the KX3 Block Diagram

[Edward R. Cole]

Well stated points.  SDR is incorporated increasingly into commercial 
radio products where I think the norm is an internal processor.  Not 
being a computer geek, just a moderately knowledgeable user, I wonder 
if some kind of partitioning of a generic computer used for SDR could 
solve many of these issues?  I would guess a start would be 
eliminating web access and browsers/e-mail clients.  Would Linux be a 
better choice over windows OS?  Or a separate OS launched from a 
partition?  Just musing on the topic.

I am VERY HAPPY that IQ port was provided on the KX3 so that 
alternative SDR programs resident on a computer may be used and 
played with.  BUT one reason I chose my K3 was that it runs 
independent of a computer (the other choice was the Flex-5000, which 
I am learning was not what I wanted).

Looking forward to receipt of my new KX3!
