Ah, I'd never heard of sdr-iq but I just looked for info on it and for a $500 price tag, I'm not interested. The limitation of +/- 12 KHz with an additional piece of hardware doesn't thrill me either. To just have the audio be worked with has for me no practical function so I won't bother. I've heard the K3 described as a SDR radio and thought the needed outputs would be readily available. Apples & oranges I guess.
That's what I needed to know & thanks.
