Hi John,
Having had an IC-756, I was sure I couldn't live without a band scope and so
I hesitated and almost didn't get a K3. When I did get the K3 I immediately
realized I had been correct in my initial assumption, so I began looking
around for a solution.
I was initially very disappointed with the performance of the SDR-IQ and was
convinced it was something I was doing wrong. I was right, with the help of
John, N1JM who sent me his ini file (and others who lent advice and
suggestions) and some further hacking around; I was finally able to get the
level of performance I had hoped for. Now I'm glad I didn't throw it out.
I guess I've been spoiled and just like to know where the activity is
without tuning or scanning...
If you want I can send you my ini file off list.
I had the exact same experience as you; I guess it doesn't come out of the
box optimized for the K3...

I have a K3 s/n 3569 (factory built) which has RF Board Rev 3. I have also
checked inside the radio to see that the IF output modification has been
performed.
My experience with the SDR-IQ is also disappointing. There are signals that
I can hear on the K3 (up to S4 or 5) that I simply cannot see on the
Spectravue panadapter. This is despite me setting the SDR-IQ to maximum gain
- but maybe I'm missing something too.
I'd also be interested to hear from anyone who already has the Rev 3 RF
board and has SDR-IQ on the IF output working satisfactorily (i.e. can see
weak signals!).
John G4IRN.
