[Elecraft] LP PAN and "Point and Click"

[Dave - AB7E]

Actually, you can buy a very competent refurbished computer (with warranty), a nice display, and LP-Pan for less than the price Elecraft has projected for the panadapter.  Along with many others I am looking forward to the Elecraft panadapter with great anticipation, but if it doesn't offer performance and flexibility instead of redundant hardware I won't be very impressed.

73,

Yes, you do have to have a computer;  but what ham out there does not own a 
computer (especially amateurs that have found there "niche" in the hobby 
were they want and need the capabilities of the K3)?   If you can afford a 
K3 (and the cost of a add on panadapter), I will "go out on a limb" and say 
you can afford to purchase a computer.
