Yea I figured this was possible but I was trying to help solve the issue in the manner the person was looking to. And using synergy would allow one to get the job done with two lesser machines. The worlds greatest multi tasker is another computer... ;) Thanks much Larry... ~Brett On Sun, 2009-

Actually, there a number of folks running multiple instances of LP-PAN/PowerSDR, both with two K3s and with a K3 with KRX3. It is not terribly difficult if you are computer savvy, and requires a newish PC (duo or quad core), but there is nothing in either program which prevents multiple instances

Here is one way to pull off what you want... Use 2 PC's and 2 LP-PAN's with your 2 K3's and then user Synergy to tie the two PCs together. I use this at work. I have two monitors and two PC's (one running linux and the other running windows) and I'm able to share one keyboard and mouse between t

"Lowly" K2, Tom?? For me the jury's still out: my nice analog K2 or the very flexible and feature-rich digital K3. I'll probably never decide, just as I won't bother to decide whether 80 or 40 meters is a better band. They're just different, that's all. They do different things better. As for

Just a gentle suggestion from a non-K3 guy. A while back it was brought up that we'd place the model # of the rig being discussed in the subject line of our posts, when applicable. Like, "K3" when we were talking about that rig, or K1, etc. Threads of general interest would not have any specif

After reconsidering I came to the conclusion that I just want to be able to see a portion of the band I'm on. Sure, point and click would be nice but if I really want that, I'll go with the all ready existing panadapter or something like Flexradio. Yes, I have a PC in my shack and it is used for l

I'm sure that Elecraft (or any other company) can design and produce just about whatever is technologically feasible. However, the issue boils down to at what cost, and then what market is out there to recover the costs. Yes, it will be great if Elecraft does come out with a Panadapter "add on
