Use PowerSDR with panadaptor hardware like LP-Pan or one of the I/Q 
receivers like I do. Position PowerSDR so only the panadaptor panel 
shows in the lower left corner of your display, then position your 
other software on top of the unneeded portions of PowerSDR. I have a 
BUNCH of stuff on my 1680x1050 display: PowerSDR, Writelog with 
several panels, etc., etc...

The K3 with PowerSDR panadaptor is the best pan system of all I have 
ever used, starting with the Heath panadaptor in the mid-'70's. and 
including all 4 radios of the 756 series.
