[Elecraft] [K3, k3S] Panadapter for the Sub Receiver

[tomb18]

HiOne thing missing is software support. A key api command is missing for the subreceiver and is unlikely to be made available.So, it's an ok mod to get an overview of an area of the airwaves,  but not accurate enough for serious use.73 Tom va2fsq.com

Thanks Don.

Part of my reasoning for posting was that this feature might 
increase sales of P3s. Given the relative lack of interest, I 
think it remains a user mod. (But my K3 might look nice with 2 
P3s on top of it. :-)
