[Elecraft] OT K3/KX3 and Raspberry Pi (Irwin Darack)

[Phil Wheeler]

I built one of those, and it was an interesting 
learning experience. But its performance doesn't 
come close to the PX3, which I later acquired.

Panadapters tend to be an addictive operating 
tool. Once I started using the K3-P3 combo I found 
that operating any rig without one was like flying 
blind. And having used my P3, the PX3 for my KX3 
was hard to resist.

But doing the TPP for use with the KX3 was a fun 
project with just enough frustration to make it 
interesting :-)

The guide done by Josh, M0JMO in the first link 
below -- and some helpful emails from Josh -- were 
invaluable to me. Using his parameters I never ran 
into the freeze problem mentioned in the second link.
