[Elecraft] [KX3] USB sound card functionality in the future?

[Don Wilhelm]

Dave,

I seriously doubt it.  If you look inside the KX3 or the KX2, there is 
not much space.
Secondly, the way the KX3, PX3 and KXPA100 'string together" for the 
RS-232 (ACC1) connections, both the PX3 and KXPA100 would have to change 
to support USB and audio.  So I don't think that is going to happen.

Elecraft does not have a schedule of "upgrades and refresh" for any of 
their products.  That only happens on an as needed basis, or as 
engineering resources for that kind of effort become available.

Don't forget that the KIO3B addition for the K3 was possible only as a 
'sideline' during the development of the K3S.

73,
Don W3FPR
