I tried the LP-Pan once. It was OK but became two boxes by the time I had a
decent external soundcard. I detested the then available PowerSDR software.
Probably better now, but I use an SDR-IQ and SpectraVue* software. Interfaces
perfectly with the K3/K3S. Gives both a spectrum and waterfall display, point
and click tuning and demodulation if you like (I don't). The software knows all
of the K3 i-f offsets and corrects the frequency display automatically. I have
two of them, one on my K3 and another on the K3S.
The SDR-IQ is out of production now but used ones show up frequently. It's been
replaced with the Cloud-IQ which is double the price of the going rate for an
SDR-IQ. The Cloud-IQ uses Ethernet instead of USB so I'm unclear about
interfacing with the K3, even though SpectraVue is still used. I use LP-Bridge
for USB port sharing between my logging programs, the SDR and the K3s.
*SpectraVue is to me, straightforward. I have yet to find any other SDR
software that is easily understood and used by a normal human being.

I'm planning on getting a K3s and am wondering about panadapters. There's
obviously the P3, but there are also the computer-based I new like the lp-pan,
or using an sdr. I kind of like having one less box on the desk - there'll be
a computer there no matter what. How's the quality of these solutions compared
to the p3? Especially the integration?
Thanks,
