[Elecraft] KX3 SDR

[Enzo Adrian-Reyes]

Hi All

Yes this topic might be a little bit more complicated than the title
suggest.

So I have the KX3 plugged into the audio input of my computer, and its
sending quadrature data (IQ) to the sound card, the sound card samples at
96Khz.

So my question is how I process this? Yes I know use a piece of software,
but I am trying to write this, I know the IQ data is coming through down
and if I use the right process on the IQ data I get base band data out. I
kind of know that however I dont understand the SDR data coming out, so for
example and I getting sample of IQ data at freq point Y, or is it  a
circular buffer arrangement.

I guess what I am saying is, is the IQ data coming from teh KX3 data from
teh Centre Freq (+/-) the bandwith scope, or just the centre freq + some
additional side bands?

How are bandwith and sampling rate related? I mean if I am sampling at at
96Khz, with a band with of 48Khz does that mean I am only getting 2 samples
per second at perticular freq??? Or am I getting the entire band of 48Khz
at 96Khz.
