I have a K2 with panadaptor and I use an LP-Pan2 and NaP3 as NaP3
supports VFO-B, while many other options don't. Note that NaP3 also
supports the Funcube Pro+. Since the Clifton Labs Z10000 is not longer
available, take a look at the buffer/amps sold by G4HUP at his website.
The board is about the same size as the Z10000 board and I use it in my
FT-1000MP Mk V and it works perfectly. Note that there are different
models of the G4HUP board, depending on the IF frequency. I suggest
getting the documentation from the Clifton Labs site on how to install
the Z10000 board in the K2 and installing the G4HUP board in the same
fashion.
Resist the temptation to use one of the RTL-SDR dongles as they have
lower dynamic range than the Funcube Pro+ and they have no built-in
sound card so are not supported by NaP3. You'd have to use something
like HDSDR with one of those dongles and you'd lose the VFO-B support.
The Funcube Pro+ with NaP3 gives performance almost the same as an
LP-Pan2, and you won't have to purchase a suitable sound card to go
along with it as you would with the LP-Pan2.
