Well there you go! Mea Culpa. :-) The internet forgets nothing. I
apologize for the confusion on this.
Clearly I was the source of the 'rumor' back in 2011. It is now obvious
to me that it is easy in the 'fog of battle' to forget what we may have
typed in a quick email reply several years ago. I was overly optimistic
and ahead of our development team on this one. I honestly thought that
in the past that we had only mentioned we were interested in doing it if
we had time, but had not committed to it formally as a future product.
The wide-spread availability of free PC and Apple iOS based s/w
panadapters like HDSDR and iSDR for the KX3 pushed this further down the
development priority list over time.
We certainly would like to do this, but have been focused on the other
key products we have promised (the KXPA100 and KX3 2M option, among
others). As Wayne pointed out in his email reply, this is both a h/w and
a significant f/w project, and we do not have infinite engineering
resources. We're already working overtime here out new products for
everyone to enjoy.
I can't promise anything definite right now, but we will take a look at
it again to see what is possible as we get past the product releases for
the other products mentioned above.

Umm... I don't know how else to put this but... Eric, -you- started the
rumor. Back on 18-Dec-2011, while we were waiting on our KX3s, you
posted to
this list. For brevity's sake, I have not copied out the entire
exchange
that was going on at the time. I know you have a lot of irons in the
fire
right now, but hopefully, this could be fit in the queue somewhere. The
hardware would actually be fairly simple, upconverting the KX3 I/Q
to the
same IF as the K3...

Not so. We also plan to offer a small IQ to P3 adapter for the KX3,
which
will give users full P3 operation with the KX3.
Stay tuned!
