[Elecraft] LP Pan versus P3 Panadapters

[GW0ETF]

Don,

I'm using a Softrock IF kit (plus Z10000B buffer amp) as a panadapter with a
~£275 Samsung NC10 netbook. Initially I was surprised but it works well with
the internal Realtek HD soundcard. 

It runs LP Bridge, PowerSDR/IF and N1MM or Logger23 smoothly; with an extra
LCD monitor this gives me an integrated panadapter/logging system with a low
dollar computer. Maximum span is ~90KHz.

It's my normal mobile pc; I can take it to the shack, plug in a usb lead,
vga lead (if I want to use the LCD monitor), a mic lead and bring it out of
hibernate and I'm in business. Don't normally need the power supply unless
I'm in for a long contest.

73,

Stewart, GW0ETF
