Hi, I don't think anybody is saying Flex is a piece of junk. Its receiver's number two position on the Sherwood list is outstanding and the audio on the air is the best there is. I have worked a number of them and they always sound great. But the software is not for the faint of heart. I use LP-PAN with my K3 and the modified PowerSDR software (one of the several versions). I see on Larry's Yahoo group that there is now a new version out with a resulting explosion of activity on the group. I am not ready to jump in. The version I am using is reasonably stable (except it always loses communications with the K3 after a while) and I am not ready to fight with not-so-plug-and-play installation of the new version, even if the new display is a little prettier and the elimination of unusable buttons is welcome. I don't agree with W9OY that the P3 looks like a joke, but really it doesn't come close to the gorgeous high resolution PowerSDR panadapter display on a high resolution monitor. But they really need to work on making that software a little easier to install and maintain. It is really the only serious knock against the LP-PAN panadapter solution.
