You can connect the sdrplay to the IF out of the K3 and use Win4k3suite  or hdsdr to view the spectrum.  The Sdrplay would need to be tuned to 8.215MHz in HDSDR or it is tuned automatically in Win4k3.the SDRPLAY will provide 2mhz bandwidth in its most useful configuration but you can go to 8mhz

HiThe command you are using to change the bandwidth is incorrect. It isBW; not BWX;You supply bandwidth in 10hz increments. Thus for 300hz you issue BW0030;This is likely the source of your error.I have a bit of experience in programming the K3 and I have found only 4 bugs, that's it.
