I bought an RSP2pro last week. I just got off the phone with HRO arranging its
return.
I too use an SDR-IQ as a panadapter and as a decent lab spectrum analyzer if you
are careful and know what you're doing. Actually, I have two K3s so I have two
SDR-IQs. SpectraVue software is the only SDR software I've ever liked. It
interfaces with the K3 seamlessly. Every other program I've tried has been
installed and quickly uninstalled. Sometimes more than once, usually having me
ask myself, "Self, what were you thinking?" before uninstalling again.
Apparently, programmers do not think like normal people do and try to turn a
relatively simple tool into a video game.
