There was an earlier discussion on the list about the definition of "Software-Defined Radio" and whether the K3 qualifies. The answer appears in W1ZR's "Getting on the air" column in the latest issue (September) of QST.
The answer is that "SDR" does not necessarily imply open-source software. Proprietary software qualifies, as long as it can re-define the receive/transmit RF paths and be downloaded in the field. They specifically mention the K3 (and IC-7800, TS-2000, Orion and FT-2000) and even include a photo. So the oracle has spoken. Question resolved. :=) Al N1AL _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
