LP-Pan is not the hog...PowerSDR is the hog (a.k.a. dog). I much prefer CW Skimmer's waterfall and run it directly from LP-PAN without the HRD/PowerSDR garbage attached. Using an old 1 GHz P3, I've run the N1MM/Skimmer combo in several contests over the past 2 years with no CPU overload problems. Skimmer's waterfall is the best I've ever used and is legal for Unassisted categories using Blind Mode. Here are some comments from one of the world's top contesters (6 CQ WW World wins in the past 10 years): http://lists.contesting.com/pipermail/skimmertalk/2008-November/000191.html Note that his comments about no knobs apply only to S&P mode...not running mode. 73, Bill P.S. José now uses two K3s in his SO2R setup. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/SDR-with-a-Twist-tp5327485p5330801.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
