Graham, I don't know if the P3 can be interfaced easily with the KX3, but what I have been telling folk who want a good spectrum display for their KX3 is to use NaP3 and a good quality sound card. Elecraft was really smart by making the I & Q data available directly on the side of the

Actually, the P3 will function with a transceiver with an IF under 20-some MHz, where the IF output is available. The P3 integrates best with the K3 though. 73, matt W6NIA On Wed, 27 Nov 2013 07:37:36 -0800, you wrote: >Short version: the P3 does not work with the KX3 at all. It is K3-only. >

Hi Graham, The P3 is designed to work with transceivers that bring IF out, such as the K3. The KX3 has I/Q outputs, not IF. Many Windows/MacOS programs, such as HPSDR, provide a panadapter function that samples I/Q from the KX3 using a stereo sound input. I believe this type of setup is what
