[Elecraft] K3: course wanted: Panadaptor 101

[Larry Phipps]

I didn't... and then I did... all in the course of a few minutes ;-)  It 
pays to put all your reasoning in your posts, so that you can convince 
yourself all over again that what you're saying makes sense. I forgot 
that and paid the price. Please refer to my original post and ignore the 
revision.

Bottom line is that if you don't mind being tied to a PC, and being 
limited to BW in the 80-90 kHz range (or 160-180 kHz range, depending on 
the sampling and filtering quality in the sound card), then a softrock 
approach can be a reasonable alternative... although far from cheap if 
you want top performance.

One advantage is that for casual listening, you have a second (or third) 
receiver.
