I'm looking for some input on the best and most cost effective way to add
panadapters to my MM contest station with four K3's.
I currently have one of the four station outfitted with a LP PAN2 and NaP3
SW and it works fine with the internal sound card with 48Khz bandwidth.
I would like to f
I sent this message this before the Dayton Hamfest and with all the traffic
on the New KX2 and the KPod I didn't receive but two replies, so I'm going
to try again to see if I can't determine the best path forward.
I'm leaning away from the P3 and more towards a SDR or LP Pan approach.

Bill, if you do CW contesting, then you will want to add CW Skimmer to the
software lineup as well. I use the following setup for CW contesting:
K3s IF out to LP-Pan
LP-Pan I/Q out to Asus U5 USB card
U5 USB to PC; use MME audio driver, which allows feeding the audio to
multiple programs
Soft
I would go the LP-Pan2 or good SDR route simply from a cost perspective.
Price a P3+SVGA+Dedicated monitor x 4 vs. LP-Pan/SDR route.
LP-Pan runs on the computer I assume you've already got for logging. If
you want you can upgrade the sound system relatively inexpensively to an
outboard USB sol
Bill,
The least frustration route is to use the P3 with the SVGA option (and
perhaps the TXMON option).
Certainly the LP-Pan/NaP3 or Win4K3 route will be less expensive, but
requires getting the applications working right on the computer.
So the tradeoff is between using the hardware soluti
Don,
LP-PAN advertises noise reduction. Does the P3 do similar?

John,
NaP3 can play through the computer speakers to act as a 2nd receiver
(but there will be latency dependent on the computer). That is where the
NaP3 NB is useful.
I do not understand that a NB function would be valuable on the spectrum
display. I want to see the noise sources that may i
Don,
I was looking at the LP-PAN YouTube video where they demonstrated noise
reduction that made weak dx signals audible on the K3S where they were not
audible without the LP-PAN. Is this really the case?

LP-Pan and NaP3 cannot change the audio output of the K3.
The audio output that can be changed is only the audio from the computer.
The K3 has NR and NB capabilities that can do the same thing for the K3
audio output, just choose the most effective parameters of the K3 NR and
NB for the task at
The P3 does have a noise blanker, which works well on impulse-type
noise. It allows you to see more-or-less the same signals that the K3
sees when its own noise blanker is turned on.

If you DON'T need the point and click feature (and many others) of the P3
and simply want to see band activity on the band you're on, I've had great
luck with the NooElec SDR "dongle" and Nooelec 125MHz Upconverter using SDR#

Have a look at the SDRplay ($150). No sound card required and 1.8 MHz
bandwidth. It works beautifully with the recently updated Win4K3suite.
