[Elecraft] K3S HDSDR as a panadapter with IF out

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

I used  a RSP-1 {SDR Play} on the IF output of my K3S before I purchased 
my P3.   I used HDSDR and OmniRig as the controlling software.  I was 
very pleased with its performance, ease of use, and ease of configuration.

>> Indeed that is true and I have both an SRP2 and Win4K3Suite, however an SDRPlay SRP2 is several orders of magnitude inferior to a Perseus and completely collapses during EU 6m Sporadic E which is where I will be using it. Win4K3Suite software is very nice I agree.

>>> I have a Perseus and I wonder if anybody is using a similar set up as a panadapter, the P3 has no mouse control and does not appeal to me having got used to HDSDR and Omnirig in the past. I suppose that I set the IF to 8.215 MHz in HDSDR? Any other tips?
