KX3 USB for I/Q

Hi,

Is USB output of I and Q being contemplated in a future board rev?

Is it possible with firmware rev for present board?

No; there is no USB interface in the KX3 (the KXUSB has has a
USB/Serial adapter built into the *cable*).

You can use an external USB audio interface, of course. I'm currently
using a E-MU 0202 USB. I've also used a Sound Blaster X-Fi USB, which
works OK, but has a spike in the center.

I doubt that there will ever be a USB audio interface inside the KX3...

Or any type of USB interface. Perhaps in a new rig design (K4,
KX4??)... but certainly not in the KX3. It doesn't need one.

There is still tons of space available in the KX3! :) I want an
option that will emitt RF at frequencies that will keep the mosquitos
away while camping....of course it would need to do this while I am
operating normally on HF.

Weird switch in the off position....
