I'm not familiar with that macro design. I do know that this version allows
intermixing of P3 and K3(s) commands within the same keyboard macro.

The bug that the p3 and svga freeze for a second or three apparently randomly
still exists in the production firmware. It's particularly noticeable when
operating QSK CW in a pileup. Does this version address that?

Yes, the P3 IF input is programmable (455 kHz to 21+ MHz) for use with
other radio's. See the Elecraft website or the online manual PDF.

A friend of mine received a Kenwood TS-590SG for Christmas. He asked me
if there was a way to get the Elecraft P3 Panadapter to work with it.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
I appreciate any help on this.

I use LP-Pan2 with a M-Audio 96k sound card internal to the computer.
Software is NaP3v4. The screen [for all applications] is a 21" LG. The
computer is an DIY AMD 2.1Ghz cpu, 2G ram, running Win7-64 [it's pretty
long in the tooth]. I use a microHam CW keyer interface with its Router
port-shari
The LP-Pan will work fine with some of the more recent motherboard based
soundcards. Check for quality and bandwitdth.

Even if you add in the cost of a computer and a top notch sound card
you're still about half the cost of the P3 set. You can buy a pretty
powerful refurbished computer for less than $300, and a monitor for less
than $100.
Also, try running CW Skimmer or any third party SDR software (current
I've seen lots of used LP-PAN's being sold with a sound card for under
$200. A new LP-PAN is $250 and a good sound card can be found for
under $70. As far as the computer goes, I'm running NaP3 on a 2008
vintage E8600 processor (simultaneously running AC Log, NaP3, CC User,
LP-Bridge, DigiPan, MMTT

You're forgetting the cost of the computer and
Actually the big advantage is the combined panadapter and second receiver
that the LP-PAN/NaP3 combination gives.
It can be challenging getting the full 2nd receiver capability working, but
once you do it offers many of the capabilities

Computer bases system advantages:
1. Cheaper. $300 - $500
2. Better resolution potential but depends on which SDR or sound card you

Juliean, IMHO the quality is comparable between P3/SVGA and LP-PAN/NaP3.
Here's an image from an LP-PAN/NaP3 panadapter that I used a while back on
an Orion:

The big issue is whether you want to deal with the computer interface
I tried the LP-Pan once. It was OK but became two boxes by the time I had a
decent external soundcard. I detested the then available PowerSDR software.
Probably better now, but I use an SDR-IQ and SpectraVue* software. Interfaces
perfectly with the K3/K3S. Gives both a spectrum and waterfal
