Juliean, IMHO the quality is comparable between P3/SVGA and LP-PAN/NaP3. Here's an image from an LP-PAN/NaP3 panadapter that I used a while back on an Orion: http://www.tentecwiki.org/lib/exe/fetch.php?cache=&media=orionpan3.jpg
The big issue is whether you want to deal with the computer interface side of LP-PAN/NaP3 and the necessary port-sharing if you also want to use a CAT-connected logging program. You'll also need to get all the settings right in NaP3 for the panadapter calibration to be accurate in all modes. The big advantage of NaP3 over other LP-PAN software options is the integral telnet connection that will paint a bandmap superimposed on the spectral display. 73, Barry N1EU On Thu, Dec 24, 2015 at 11:47 AM, Juliean Galak <jga...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm planning on getting a K3s and am wondering about panadapters.
