[Elecraft] Kx3 RxIQ

[Chris Hallinan]

I'm quite interested in experimenting in this area.  I've been playing
around with SDR via gnuradio with a cheap TV tuner dongle.  Can
someone please explain the characteristics of the signal coming from
the IF Out port on the K3?  Is it basically in the audio domain? Is it
this connector that would plug into the P3?  I'd like to experiment
with viewing the signal spectrum using something similar to gnuradio.

Brian, how did you connect your KX3 to the iPad?

Thanks,

Chris
