[Elecraft] Digitized IF over IP?

Hi,
That would be incredibly inefficient if you really want the whole IF. The IF 
output of the K3 is 8.215 MHz so you would have to sample at twice this.
On the other hand, the original questions was "Has anyone digitized the K3S 
IF and streamed it over an IP connection?"  and the answer is yes, many 
people people have.
However, there is always something sampling the IF at the K3 and then 
providing some sort of processing before hand.
For example you could hook up an SDRPlay and sample at 2MHz and you will 
then have a maximum bandwidth of 2MHz.  That will be perfectly fine. 
However, again, it is not that efficient.  What do you want your panadapter 
to display?  Your display has a finite number of pixels.  Today, the highest 
resolution would be 4K where you have 3840 data points.  Why send all 4 
million data points when you need to display only 3840?  Of course I'm 
simplifying this a lot but it's the general idea.
There are lots of solutions out there.  Just look up software defined radios 
and dongles and find some drivers that will stream the data.

Latency is going to be a huge problem.
