LPB2 is a version of LP-Bridge that is intended for use with transceivers other than the K3 (K3S and KX3). If you are running a K3, LP-Bridge (not LPB2) will provide better performance because it buffers some of the K3 information and thus reduces the need for frequent access to the K3 for

David, LP-Pan is just a piece of hardware, and has no connection with COM ports. However, the software application that shows you the panadapter display on the computer will usually use a COM port to indicate the frequency on the display and may have some other rig control functions. Note that

David, I'm using LPB2 (LP Bridge) to handle the serial port access. FWIW, I use DX Lab Commander for multi rig use. That works especially well for allowing either rig (K3 or Flex 6300) access control to the KAT-500 tuner as well as logging software, fldigi, etc. Ken WA8JXM On 10/15/15

Jorge, I went the cheapest route, and it works quite well. I use a softrock lite II which cost $21. I needed a stereo sound card for my laptop, so I ordered a USB sound card for around $14 from Amazon. I later changed to a Xonar U5 sound card, which cost $60 after a $10 rebate. It is a better

From my point of view there is another consideration at hand here. A hardware interface like LP-Pan that provides I-Q signals to a PC sound card allows the use of other SDR-type software like CW Skimmer, and while CW Skimmer may not be of interest to everyone I believe other third party

Jorge, The goal of both the P3 and LP-Pan (with PC software) is the same -- to give you a panadapter display of the IF output of the K3 (K3S) or any other radio. The P3 does it by direct digital means and displays the resulting spectrum and waterfall on the native screen. With the SVGA
