Well, find me a "crowded" band anytime other than during incessant contacts, and I'd agree. 40 in the afternoon, or most bands most any time are not crowded, except during the occasional appearance of a sort of rare one ... which is rare.

Re: [Elecraft] Panadapters for a MM station using 4 K3s
The P3 does have a noise blanker, which works well on impulse-type noise. It allows you to see more-or-less the same signals that the K3 sees when its own noise blanker is turned on.

[Elecraft] HD Monitor for P3 SBGA
Another possibility is an SVGA switch. Many are available at $15 or so, some of them attractive enough for the desktop. I use a single Dell 19”, using a SVGA cable to the DB15 on the switch box, one input from the SVGA output of the P3 and the other through an Apple cable from the thunderbolt output of the computer. (I assume on a PC you could use a USB-to-SVGA converter.) I was unable to find a monitor I liked that had built-in front-panel switching. The switch box works beautifully, and doesn’t result in pushing the monitor around when the input is switched. It does add one more cable to the collection. But in my station, one more isn’t even a rounding digit.

Re: [Elecraft] Please recommend an HD monitor to use with P3SVGA
On Mon,7/4/2016 2:27 AM, Mike K2MK wrote: The problem with recommending a model number is that within a year of purchasing a monitor it is usually superceded by a different model. Yes. A year or two ago, I discovered a 24-in Samsung at Costco that runs from a nominal 14VDC wall wart. It's an SMPS and noisy, but because it's 14VDC, it's easy to replace with a 12VDC linear wall wart or run from your shack 12-14VDC power supply. To figure out what power the monitor requires, study their spec sheet carefully and also blown-up photos of the rear panel (you may need to get to the mfr website). With two large monitors on a desk it's also worth considering adjustable monitor support arms. They let you situate the monitors for best viewing heights and angles without taking up valuable desk surface for your equipment. More great advice. I've found mounts like this at amazon. A double-arm mount that clamps onto a horizontal surface and places monitors side-by-side cost me about $70; another that places one above the other about the same price. And there's a company called "monoprice" that sells a single arm for about $50. The tricky part about using these mounts is that they are designed to be used with a monitor that accepts a VESA mounting plate. Not all monitors have that (four screw threads at a certain spacing), but there's also a "garage" operation that makes mounts that retrofit some models of Samsung monitors. All found on the internet. Another issue in choosing a monitor is RFI, which can be from the SMPS wall wart, AND from the monitor itself. W4UAT gave me a different Samsung model that had touch controls that had awful RFI problems -- his TX made the monitor go huts, and it put out lots of RF noise that I could not kill. The Samsung monitors I bought are not completely clean, but can be made clean enough that I can't hear them in my antennas by choking their video and power cables. 73, Jim K9YC __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] Panadapters for a MM station using 4 K3s
Bill, if you do CW contesting, then you will want to add CW Skimmer to the software lineup as well. I use the following setup for CW contesting: K3s IF out to LP-Pan LP-Pan I/Q out to Asus U5 USB card U5 USB to PC; use MME audio driver, which allows feeding the audio to multiple programs Software setup: LP-Bridge connects to K3s serial port & provides multiple virtual serial ports NaP3 for wide-band view, connects to U5 audio & K3s via LP-Bridge CW Skimmer, connects to U5 audio & K3s via LP-Bridge Either WriteLog or N1MM+ for logging, connects to K3s via LP-Bridge Set CW Skimmer to send spots to Telenet/localhost Connect logging software spots/band map to localhost This provides point & click capability for your logging program, and the main advantage is that no spots appear on the bandmap unless you are actually hearing them. If you don't do CW tests, then there is no need for CW Skimmer. I'm sure you're already aware of NaP3's ability to show spots on the pan display from any spot server you connect to. This is another big advantage for contesting over using a P3. Of course, the logging software can show spots on its band map as well. The PC configuration is also something you will need to consider. From my experience, the minimum desktop-type computer needed to run all the above software is a Intel Core-2 Duo with 4 GB ram. Intel i3 thu i7's will run at lower CPU loads, and if you are using laptops, i3's with at least 4GB ram are probably the minimum. I have been eyeing the small fanless "brick" mini-PC's that are available from several vendors as something that could be used as a shack/contesting PC. They are made using laptop boards, and utilize the aluminum case as a heatsink. A complete i5 can be had with 4 GB ram and a small SSD drive for about $300, but do not include a Windows license. Another option that I don't have any experience with, but would be cheaper to implement, would be to use the SDR-Play SDR receiver to look at the IF output from the K3s. I do not know if the SDR-Play can be used in conjunction with NaP3, CW Skimmer, or contest loggers. You might check around on some of the Kenwood TS-590 info pages or forums, as the SDR-Play seems to be a popular method of providing a panadapter for the TS-590. Hope this is of some help. 73, Luther N4UW __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Re: [Elecraft] Panadapters for a MM station using 4 K3s
John, NaP3 can play through the computer speakers to act as a 2nd receiver (but there will be latency dependent on the computer). That is where the NaP3 NB is useful. I do not understand that a NB function would be valuable on the spectrum display. I want to see the noise sources that may interfere with my reception just the same as I want to see the signals on the band. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/4/2016 11:31 AM, John Stengrevics wrote: Don, LP-PAN advertises noise reduction.

Re: [Elecraft] Panadapters for a MM station using 4 K3s
Bill, The least frustration route is to use the P3 with the SVGA option (and perhaps the TXMON option). Certainly the LP-Pan/NaP3 or Win4K3 route will be less expensive, but requires getting the applications working right on the computer. So the tradeoff is between using the hardware solution of the P3 vs. using LP-Pan/NaP3 which involves computer setup of the soundcard and all the attendant frustration that comes with getting everything to play together.

Re: [Elecraft] Panadapters for a MM station using 4 K3s
I would go the LP-Pan2 or good SDR route simply from a cost perspective. Price a P3+SVGA+Dedicated monitor x 4 vs. LP-Pan/SDR route. LP-Pan runs on the computer I assume you've already got for logging. If you want you can upgrade the sound system relatively inexpensively to an outboard USB solution like ASUS Xonar U7 or the Steinberg UR22 for more bandwidth, 192KHz. NaP3 is free, Win4K3 Suite is not but it's the Swiss Army knife of K3(s)/KX3 management software.

Re: [Elecraft] Please recommend an HD monitor to use with P3SVGA
I realize this is off the topic of which monitor to get, but multiple monitors do take up more space. The idea of mounting a monitor, or monitors on arms does address the issue of desk space, but I decided against that due to the cost issue, and those arms still need to be mounted on something. My solution was VERY much less expensive. I made sure my monitors were VESA mount capable. I then mounted them to the wall directly in front of me. Yes, I put about three holes in the wall to mount an angle bracket to the wall. I then screwed another angled bracket to the back of each monitor and they then 'hang' on the bracket that I attached to the wall. The result is that the monitors are at the exact same height, and mine are pushed together so they touch. I know that no solution is perfect for every person or situation, but many people who have seen pictures of my shack have asked how I got two monitors to stay so perfectly aligned in relation to each other, and still have room on my small desk for my K3, KPA500, P3 etc. 73 de Dave K9FN On Mon, Jul 4, 2016 at 5:27 AM, Mike K2MK wrote: > Hi Doug, > > The problem with recommending a model number is that within a year of > purchasing a monitor it is usually superceded by a different model.

Re: [Elecraft] Help sell me on the K3S
Reuben, If you do not need Tx - why not just go for a high end SDR Rx. Lots of really good products out there at the moment - and being SDR easy to upgrade with software etc. You will need to budget for a decent computer and maybe an external sound card - but also an option to consider IMHO.

Re: [Elecraft] Please recommend an HD monitor to use with P3SVGA
Hi Doug, The problem with recommending a model number is that within a year of purchasing a monitor it is usually superceded by a different model. I do have some suggestions that you might not have considered. Consider getting a monitor that can also serve as a second monitor for your PC. Most monitors today have multiple inputs. A few years ago that would have been SVGA and DVI. Later it became SVGA and HDMI. Now you might also find SVGA, DVI, and HDMI. But that's not the whole story. You want to make sure that you can change the monitor with a push-button at the bottom of the monitor. Some monitors require that you go into the monitor program settings. That would be much less convenient. When I'm using the P3 I'll push the monitor button to go into SVGA. When the P3 is off the monitor automatically switches back to the DVI input thus acting as a secondary monitor output from my PC. Typical 22" monitors can display the 1440 x 900 from the P3 quite nicely. Of my ASUS and ViewSonic low-cost monitors I prefer the ViewSonic. The colors are more realistic. The ASUS adjustments don't seem capable of getting the softer colors I'm interested in. My ViewSonic model number is VA2265smh. The ASUS is model number VS228H-P. With two large monitors on a desk it's also worth considering adjustable monitor support arms. They let you situate the monitors for best viewing heights and angles without taking up valuable desk surface for your equipment. 73, Mike K2MK Doug Hensley wrote > Subject says it all.
