With the K2 powerknob fully CCW it still produces some 100 mW output as
it shows on the display... I made several QSO's with that setting.
The TEST option Don W3FPR suggested is imho the best solution.

What has been peoples' experience with using SDRPlay with Win4K3 as a

I use it very successfully with my K3S and HDSDR software. Makes for a nice
2nd receiver, although it takes a separate computer to support the operation.
The P3 is a stand alone display. I don't have a P3 thus can't say with regard
to performance.

I used a SDRPlay RSP1 for awhile after using an LP-PAN2 with a
Win4K3Suite. It didn't take me long to switch back to the LP-PAN2. The
RSP1 was horrible in crowded band conditions like a contest or a DX
pileup... the display and noise floor would pump up and down really bad and
was very annoying.
Hello Richard, All,
i am using SDRPlay with may K3 at IF-Out multiple times for a
self-skimmer-setup during contests.
Check my qrz-page https://qrz.com/db/DD0VS.
SDR software used is SDR Console V3, since this has a skimmer interface.
There is a second option, with KXV3 option, i looped in a po
Max,
I use the rsp2. It works ok for what I do. No, it doesn't compare to my 24
bit. 192 kHz sound card. But, there is a big difference between a 12 or 14 bit
ADC and a 24 bit ADC. Neither lets me see really weak signals.
I do not use the P3. It is the only piece of Elecraft produced
Many thanks for the responses. I was thinking of using SDRPlay connected to
the K3 IF out and Win4K3. The setup is extremely simple, but I wasn't sure
what the downside was.

Hi,
Max's answer is right on the money.
If you never used a panadapter before, any of them will be a fine addition.
Also if you are not a avid contester, the RSP1, can't be beat for the money.

Dick,
I have both the SDRplay RSP1 and the LP-Pan. I have operated the SDRplay
using the K3S Rx Ant output and its IF output. Early comparisons between
SRDplay and LP-Pan were invalid due to a plastic case and cheap cables used
on the SDRplay - resulting in terrible noise floor and birdies on
Bret,
The K-Pod knob can select only the VFO A, VFO B or RIT knobs.
If you would find it any better, you can write K3 Macros to change the
other knob settings up or down and assign the macros to the K-Pod buttons.

Are you planning to remove the KPA100 when doing Field work or Field Day?
If so, then you can again put the KAT2 on the base K2.
The ATU used with the KPA100 must handle 100 or more watts, and be
positioned between the KPA100 and the antenna.
Even if the KPA100 did not physically displace the

Or you can use the ‘twins’ configuration of the K2/100: with the KPA100 and

Unplug the K2 from the EC2 and you have a 20 watt QRP rig with a 20 watt tuner.
It’s that easy.

Have you looked at Win4K3?
I realize it's not the hardware solution you wanted, but it does bring out
all the controls to a PC screen so you can point and click at pretty much
any of them rather than going through the menus on the radio...
I suppose one could build exactly what you proposed using
During normal operation, the controls on the front of the K3/K3S will
have all the control that is needed. There is no need to drill down
into the menu for operation.
The menu is normally for setup of your K3 which can be customized to
your preferences before any serious operating events.

Don't have the SDRPlay, but do have a SDR-IQ which operates using
Spectravue quite nicely. Noise floor below 550-KHz is -130 dBm and

I typically use it on the 28-MHz IF of my VHF and higher transverters.

I don't understand the need for all that menu access in the first place

that covers dramatic changes in operating conditions (propagation, QRN,
QRM, etc)
