Even if you manage to bring out the IC-7600's IF, the problem is that the
radio's IF is around 64 MHz but the max frequency that the P3 can accept is
about 33 MHz if I remember correctly. Simply put, there's no easy way do
connect a P3 to the IC-7600. (If anyone knows of a way, I'd sure like to
hear about it.)
However, there ARE methods that will provide a much improved
panadapter/waterfall display over what shows on the radio's screen.
There's an easy mod that uses a Mini-Circuits or other brand, two way
splitter to bring out the IF scope signal. You basically pull the coax
line from the IF to the scope input on the board inside the radio and insert
the Splitter such that one of it's outputs goes to the original scope input
connector and the second splitter output goes to the outboard device.
Usually a simple "dongle SDR" or LP-Pan is used with a computer program for
a much improved panadapeter & waterfall display.
Another somewhat more costly way is to use the same splitter between the
Rx-IN & RX-OUT connector to drive something like and SDR-IQ or as I am
doing, a QS1R SDR receiver running SDRMAX V + Omni-Rig. The SDR basically
runs in parallel with the IC-7600 and Omni-Rig allows master/slave functions
between them. It's a lot of stuff to turn on, but you'll be rewarded with a
spectacular screen of info.

Has anyone hooked the P3 to an Icom IC-7600?
I also have the K3 and would like to share it on the IC-7600
