[Elecraft] SDRPlay as panadapter

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

I'm using the SDR Play {RSP 1} and HDSDR very successfully for my 
needs.  However, I do not use the IF output on either of my radios.  I 
use the SDR Play receiver by  picking the signal off of the RX ANT  IN 
and OUT on my K3S and I pick the signal from the Band Pass filter of my 
other two radios.

  I find this provides superior resolution, viewing bandwidth, and 
allows control of the radios via OMNIRIG which is built into HDSDR.  The 
communications are two way, thus changing the radio frequency/mode will  
change the SDR Play or changing the frequency/mode on HDSDR will change 
the radio.  This allows the SDR Play to function as a tuneable 2nd 
receiver or as locked with the radio.
