It didn't at the time that I sold mine - it would simply "top out" at 30 MHz. Thanks for the update.

I just retrieved my SDR-IQ from the shelf, connected it to the IF loop on my P3, loaded SpectraVue set the External Radio/Panadapter Setup as recommended in the SV help file and was running with a "tracking panadapter" on six meters. I used the 2nd CAT port capability in microHAM USB Device Router to provide the serial splitter function and the K3 tracks clicks in the SV spectrum/waterfall and SV tracks frequency changes from VFO A on the K3. Operation is the same on 6 meters as on 160 through 10. The only issue is the constantly changing IF offset in the K3 (IS) which SpectraVue does not track. This results in a variable frequency error based on mode. 73, ...
