[Elecraft] Wide Spectrum support on Pan Adapter/SDR w/ K3 or KX3

[George Danner]

Bert,
Spectrum Analyzer would be the best bet!
Would also allow transmit monitoring.
We used both Spectrum Analyzers & Spectrum Monitors for satellite up/down 
links to view a single transponder up to the entire satellite.
Spectrum Monitor had 70 MHz & 950 MHz inputs. The 70 MHz input would see a 
transponder and a half. The 950 MHz input would see the entire bird.
Don't remember how wide but sure it was way more than 4 MHz.

Bert,

I don't know if the K3 IF output is broad enough to support a 4 MHz span
(I suspect it is not).

He would have to find an SDR receiver capable of supporting that 4 MHz
span and connect it to the K3 IF output.

I do know that SDR dongles are capable of 2 MHz span, but I have never
seen one that does a 4 MHz span.

Perhaps your young friend will have to develop something on his own.
