Re: [Elecraft] Survey and summary: Elecraft K3/K3S panadapter solutions

My question is:   Wayne as I remember said the P3 was actually a SDR,  so it thats true is it not possible to have an add on board for the P3 to bring out the I/Q signal for use with a computer and Skimmer software etc? I never got an answer when asking this before,   or am I all wet that this

Re: [Elecraft] BNC T for IF Out

Isnt there a IF out jack on the rear of the P3 already for that, you have to switch it on is all. Stupid Question of the Month. Is it possible to use a BNC T to drive P3 and a SDRPlay at the same time? Is there enough drive to do this? Back to your regular programming. Lee K0WA _

Re: [Elecraft] BNC T for IF Out

A 3dB splitter with secondary output is built in to the P3. Switch it on and connect your SDR of choice to the IF out connector. I have an SDRplay RSP1 connected to mine which allows use of the spectrum facility in Win4K3, N1MM and DXLabs on the big screen as well as the P3. Being an RSP1 you

The P3 has an IF Out jack. I have connected that to a SDRPlay RSP1 with good results. No splitter or tee required. You must flip the little switch on the back of the P3 to enable IF Out. On Thu, Jul 26, 2018 at 9:14 PM Leroy Buller wrote: > Part number? > > Lee > > On Thu, Jul 26, 2018, 8:45 PM J
