[Elecraft] K3 - P3 or LP-PAN comparison

[Wes Stewart]

I use an SDR-IQ on the i-f output of my K3.  I use LP-Bridge to share data between the K3, SpectraVue, DXBase logging and/or N1MM.

Additionally, with a laptop/SDR-IQ combination I have a nice little standalone receiver for travel use, although the sensitivity is poor without something like an active antenna.

Disclaimer: I once owned an LP-PAN but sold it, I've never owned a P3 although I played with a preproduction one once.

In another post I ask about sub-receiver versus panadapter. Here, a 
question about type of panadapter. My station occupies a very small 
space, and adding the P3 would strain the real estate. So, I've been 
looking at other panadapter possibilities that use the computer screen 
for display. What sort of useful comparisons can be made between the P3 
and the LP-Pan box/software? Are there any other panadapter options that 
I should consider? Thanks for any and all opinions.
