I've pretty much become resigned to the need to provide a dedicated DC voltage
to the monitors, etc... I'm hacking on a monitor like the two I'm using to
figure out where to bypass the internal power supply and tap in to provide
clean DC.
At this point, I'm simply

Exactly right. There's also the issue of finding monitors that will run

Excellent analysis, Ian. I agree completely. FWIW, Elecraft is very much

You raise some great points, Ian. The choice of which type of panadapter to
use, as well as how to configure and integrate it, depends greatly on what
your purpose is for using one in the first place. We certainly have an
abundance of riches in the choices available today!

If what you want is a good panadapter for the K3, the P3 is hard to beat,
in my opinion.
I started my panadapter journey on the K3 the cheapest way possible - a
softrock receiver on the IF, fed to the internal sound card on my PC. I was
never able to tame the large 'spike' at the IF frequency. I

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.
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.
