[Elecraft] SDRPlay as panadapter

[M. George]

I used a SDRPlay RSP1 for awhile after using an LP-PAN2 with a
Win4K3Suite.  It didn't take me long to switch back to the LP-PAN2.  The
RSP1 was horrible in crowded band conditions like a contest or a DX
pileup... the display and noise floor would pump up and down really bad and
was very annoying.  I have been tempted to try the RSP2 which is out now
because it has band filtering...

Anyway, the LP-PAN2 setup has 30dB better filtering and the fact that you
are taking the IF out of the K3, you also get the rigs band filtering in
the mix.  If you want performance and are going to try something other than
a P3, I think the LP-PAN2 with Win4K3Suite is the best solution in my
opinion.  The SDRPLay is a very simple setup however with Win4K3Suite where
LP-PAN2 and a sound card will require more setup.

For the total turnkey setup, I suspect the P3 might be the easiest... and
the performance is going to be great too... it's just more $$$ than the
other solutions.

Big thumbs up for Win4K3 Suite however... the latest version also pumps out
a UDP feed for the new N1MM+ spectrum display too, which works very well.
