[Elecraft] K3 and Panadapter

[Jean-Claude Abauzit]

Very good job with the K3 FAQ.

Regarding the use of a Softrock as panadapter you should also mention 
that not only it will provide the panadapter function but also a 
second receiver tunable around the receive frequency of the K3. For 
example with a sound card sampling at 196 kHz this second receiver 
would allow reception at +/-96 kHz of the K3 receiving frequency with 
all the bells and whistles of a SDR.

Regarding the future Elecraft pandapter:
Right now the K3 can be used on RTTY and PSK with a tiny scrolable 
display (VFO-B). The panadapter will  have a big screen, why not make 
use of it for the digital modes? May be have a keybord connector. It 
could also make use of a mouse connector: Point and click on the 
spectrum display to tune a signal.

I just suscribed to the reflector when I heard about the K3, I 
decided not to receive individual e-mail. I know how to post but have 
no idea on how to reply to a post, how do I do that?
