I bought and used an SDR-IQ after I dumped LP-Pan with my 5000 it did work
better for sure your right. But still the P3/SVGA comes out on top for all
the added features like CW/PSK/RTTY decoding and using the K3 macros to send
no computer needed. The SVGA gives you the extra of seeing the larger
decoded CW and digital signals a big plus.

Option three is an SDR-IQ and Spectravue software.  I use LP-Bridge to
"connect" the K3, SDR-IQ, N1MM, DXBase (logging) and AXETTY (an MMTTY
variant that works with DXBase) together.

I use a laptop and a second larger monitor and arrange stuff as needed for
different operating modes (i.e RTTY DXing, contesting, etc.)

First, I looked in the archives and didn't really find an answer. I have a
K3 and P3 and love the combination, but seeing a P3 with a P3SVGA card in
action at Orlando Hamcation, I have been considering adding the P3SVGA card
to my P3. But have read some articles about the LP-Pan and I am interested
in opinions on overall capabilities of P3/P3SVGA combo vs. LP-Pan/NaP3
combo. The individual items are roughly the same price. (I understand that
an external sound card will be needed with LP-Pan) So can anyone who
has experience with each, give some opinions on  the pluses and minus of
each terms of capabilities, and recommendations on which way to go?
