MRP40 CW Software SDR ver.

[Fred Smith-2]

I have been looking at this software and see they have a SDR version of it,
they list the KX3 as supported but not the K3. It seems that it would be
about the same is anyone using it with their K3 or who have looked at the
product and would comment. Any constructive comments if the K3 is supported
would be most welcomed.

Fred,
The webpage for the MRP40-SDR software indicates it is looking for a radio
with IQ signal outputs. The KX3 has this. The K3 does not (natively).
However, a K3 equipped with an XV3(or XV3A), plus an LP-Pan, SoftRock, or
other IF to IQ "baseband" output would seem to be acceptable. (It is also
possible to bring the IF signal out of a K3 without the transverter
interface).

I haven't used this software, but that's what I glean from reading the first
few sentences on the webpage.

73,
Bruce N1RX

for any interested go here:
http://www.polar-electric.com/Morse/MRP40-EN/
down under *News:* it has more info on the MRP40-SDR

and even more including the download is here:
http://www.polar-electric.com/Morse/MRP40-EN/MRP40-SDR.html

I did try it out on my K3 using a softrock to tap the IF, it worked
fine. You must use something like a softrock to convert the K3's IF out
to the I/Q necessary to feed the MRP-SDR software.

I have used my K3 and softrock with an on board as well as a Delta44
sound card using Rocky software.

I have also run NaP3 using the softrock on the K3's IF out, and now
having a P3 for the IF display. I didn't find the MRP40-SDR worth the
$67 usd price *FOR ME*

so if you are looking for cw decoder that's one thing, if you are
wanting it for the waterfall display, that will need a middle man
interface, like the softrock.

However....
I do use and love the regular MRP40 Morse Code Decoder software.
I have been happy with it's performance for many years. I compared it
with all other free and paid cw decoders and found it to be the best!

so how you want to use the MRP40-SDR and what you have to run it,
on may make it worthwhile for you....
as in ymmv <g>

you can download and try for free for 30 days
so give it a shot, see what you think.

P.S.
more on the softrock interface for a K2 can be read here:

and GM0ELP has info on the softrock for the K3 here:
