[Elecraft] K3 Panadaptor/Bandscope

2008-12-29 Thread Trevor Smithers
From the K3 faq

Elecraft plans to offer a matching bandscope accessory after the K3 is out 

I'm aware of L-Pan, SDR-IQ, Softrock, Perseus, Mercury, QS1R etc but wondered 
if a 
dedicated Elecraft K3 panadaptor is still on the development schedule or has 
this been dropped 
in favour of the 3rd party offerings.

I would hope that it has not been dropped, if for no other reason,  
because I assume it would communicate most efficiently with the K3  
using Elecraft's internal bus. Of course there are also other  
offerings in the pipeline, so it is hard to say what the Elecraft  
roadmap may look like.


I have bought a QS1R, which I, among other things, plan on using as a  
panadapter with my K3 until Elecraft releases their own. It should be  
possible to do most of what Elecraft might do internally, with the  
RS-232 serial port. What might be tricky is sharing the serial port  
with logging software such as WinTest, but on the other hand, I do  
hope to integrate WinTest band map information in the live spectrum  
display. It would be cool if Elecraft's panadapter implements this  
kind interoperation with logging software and/or DX-Clusters.


Happy New Year de toby
