[Elecraft] SDR Processing from KX3 in Python

[Per-Tore Aasestrand]

Hi Phil,

I agree with your points of view.
Mathematica and Wolfram are marvellous tools.

For real-time work I have had som successes using NI LabVIEW. Could be that
it can be suitable for the signal proessing required for this application.
