[Elecraft] KX3 - easiest way to panadapt?

[Ed]

Thank you, Barry.  Your information is about what I was looking for.  I understand the need for a better soundcard if I use NaP3 .... because of the stereo microphone input issue, I believe??  I do not currently use logging software.... just a PSK31 program called AirLink  Express.  I also just want to be able to look at the frequencies a few dozen KHz above and below where my KX3 is tuned ... so am hoping to do this with minimal hardware.

I like your suggestion about Win4K3.  I will strongly consider that.

Ed,
     You will need to buy one additional bit, a good sound card. NaP3 is a good product, It's really an earlier version of PowerSDR than is out today. It is free, but you will want to download LP-Bridge, not Bridge2. 
This will allow you to integrate your logging and digital software with what you have your KX3 doing.

     I used this initially and was quite happy. I later switched to the
Win4K3 suite which costs $50, but it does offer some real advantages. 
First you can use com0com , which is free, for your port replication. 
This setup has been less problem prone on my system over NaP3 and LP-Bridge. Second, you have more control of your KX3.

73,
