I'm thinking of three major computer-related 'opportunities' for the K3:

[1] A true network device with Ethernet (maybe USB but this is overkill IMHO),
[2] Access to bandscope info via the network.
[3] Audio / digital pre-audio data via the network.

This hardware is not too expensive nowadays, and if there is a willing group of programmers the computer software needed can be free. The FlexRadio software is gently moving in this direction, may be a good testbed for these ideas.

Obviously an external box could be built which handles this for all radios but what I really, really want is bandscope data at a nice high speed.

I'm so impressed with my KX-1 kit that I am having a battle with my VISA card to stop me buying a K1 as well :-)

You can do this with an embedded serial device server using any radio with a serial port... but of course you are limited to the supported commands/data on that port. If you have access to QST, see my article in the October edition... or go to the "Remote Control of Networked Station Equipment" link on my website, www.telepostinc.com

I think most high-end radios will eventually include an ethernet port... or possibly even wi-fi.
