iSDR for K3?

[Randy Cook-2]

Somewhat newbie question here. Playing around with my son’s iPad, downloaded iSDR. I saw it used with used with KX3s, but can it be used with a K3’s buffered I/F output? If so, any tricks? Couldn’t find anything in the archives…

Randy,

There is a BIG difference between the I/Q outputs on the KX3 and the 8
MHz IF output on the K3.

The KX3 I/Q outputs can drive a soundcard (like the iMic) directly, but
the the K3 needs some sort of an SDR receiver tuned to the 8 MHz IF
output which will output I/Q signals that you can feed to the
soundcard.  LP-Pan is one such device, the Softrock receiver is
another.  There are also dedicated SDR receivers that can tune to the K3
IF output and are quite usable.
