[Elecraft] K3 Win4k3Suite Question

[Barry]

No! The KX3 has I&Q analog data coming out of the side of the radio 
already. All that is needed is to feed an external sound card that data, 
and then, tell Win4K3 what the spectrum source is, pretty straight 
forward. I find the KX3 setup easier and less complex than the K3. With 
the K3, you need either a SDRPlay or a LP Pan to baseband the IF and 
develop the I&Q analog data needed. Wayne essentially designed that in 
the KX3.
