[Elecraft] K3 DSP processor speed

[Mike Harris]

According to the review in the November RSGB magazine (RadCom) it hosts 
three 32 bit floating point DSP units. Two clocked at 393MHz for the 
receivers and the transmitter an one clocked at 370MHz for the spectrum 
scope. Also two 24-bit DAC's.

I never use NR so essentially I don't really care if 2400 MFLOP devices 
make a difference.

Occam's razor springs to mind  "It is vain to do with more what can be 
done with fewer". Possibly less powerful DSP engines are becoming 
obsolete, maintenance only devices.
