[Elecraft] the easy panadapter

[Arie Kleingeld PA3A]

Hi all,

Just sharing this with you.

I have made a panadapter set-up with the K3. For many people nothing new,
but for me the first steps into SDR, and the fun thing is, at low cost.


The following set-up is working in my shack:
K3, IF-softrock pcb , Asus Xonar D1 soundcard , 2.6G Pentium IV computer(6yr
old), Power SDR-IF software.

This delivers a very nice and inexpensive panadapter with mouse point and
click tuning. Of course, it most probably does not have the super quality of
the lp-pan and emu soundcard combo or a P3(?.
BUT... IF you want to try out a panadapter with your K3, try this set-up.
Power-SDR-IF in combo with the K3 is absolutely wonderful, simply amazing.

Total cost (in EU: 14 euro for the softrock pcb and 55 euro for the
soundcard.)
