Never understood why one would spend so much on a mic. even AM or ESSB a mic like that Neumann TLM 103 mic is way overkill its sort like drinking a Dom Perignon with a Big Mac. any reasonable sounding mic will have better audio than the best sounding SSB transmitter will need.

The P3 does have a noise blanker, which works well on impulse-type noise. It allows you to see more-or-less the same signals that the K3 sees when its own noise blanker is turned on. Alan N1AL On 07/04/2016 08:46 AM, Don Wilhelm wrote: John, NaP3 can play through the computer speakers to

Another possibility is an SVGA switch. Many are available at $15 or so, some of them attractive enough for the desktop. I use a single Dell 19”, using a SVGA cable to the DB15 on the switch box, one input from the SVGA output of the P3 and the other through an Apple cable from the thunderbolt

LP-Pan and NaP3 cannot change the audio output of the K3. The audio output that can be changed is only the audio from the computer. The K3 has NR and NB capabilities that can do the same thing for the K3 audio output, just choose the most effective parameters of the K3 NR and NB for the task

John, NaP3 can play through the computer speakers to act as a 2nd receiver (but there will be latency dependent on the computer). That is where the NaP3 NB is useful. I do not understand that a NB function would be valuable on the spectrum display. I want to see the noise sources that may

Bill, The least frustration route is to use the P3 with the SVGA option (and perhaps the TXMON option). Certainly the LP-Pan/NaP3 or Win4K3 route will be less expensive, but requires getting the applications working right on the computer. So the tradeoff is between using the hardware

I would go the LP-Pan2 or good SDR route simply from a cost perspective. Price a P3+SVGA+Dedicated monitor x 4 vs. LP-Pan/SDR route. LP-Pan runs on the computer I assume you've already got for logging. If you want you can upgrade the sound system relatively inexpensively to an outboard USB

I realize this is off the topic of which monitor to get, but multiple monitors do take up more space. The idea of mounting a monitor, or monitors on arms does address the issue of desk space, but I decided against that due to the cost issue, and those arms still need to be mounted on something.
