Hi,

I am hoping for much more than +/-10kHz. High end sound cards sample at up to 192ks/s and are not that expensive. I'd love to run a panadapter with more than 100kHz total bandwidth. I would also love to see a digital audio stream from the KX3 so I could eliminate the sound card altogether. Obviously that's available somewhere inside the DSP but maybe it's hoping too much that it be formatted into something standard and made available externally. If the $700 price guesstimate I've seen holds and the performance on general coverage is decent, I might be interested in one to replace my web-enabled IC-718:

Wayne, I know you don't have anything to do but answer questions... ;-)

I didn't get a chance to ask this last night during the KX3 webcast:

What will be the usable bandwidth of the RX IQ output? Since the dual watch
capability is described as +/- 10 KHz, I am wondering if this is the total
BW at this output jack. Also, will this be tapped off before the optional
roofing filter module?

Thanks in advance,
Bruce, N1RX
