P3 and LP-PAN / PowerSDR-IF each have strengths and weaknesses. You'll need to do some research to see which suits your situation better. I will just briefly mention three clear differences...
The most obvious difference is that P3 doesn't require a PC, and is basically plug-and-play. LP-PAN requires knowledge of PCs and sound cards. Some people find it trivial to set up, but some have difficulty. How your PC is configured plays into this. Another obvious difference is the screen size and resolution. I run mine at 1680x1050 (vs. 480x272 for P3), and can fill the display with the pan and/or waterfall if I want. This provides much better resolution for wide spans. To be fair, P3 provides better resolution at narrow spans, but I suspect you would use wider spans most often. Not so obvious is that PowerSDR-IF is not just a display, but a full receiver with all the DSP bells and whistles and very high quality sound through the sound card outputs. It actually provides two receivers, tied to both VFO A and VFO B, so that you can see and listen to both sides of a split QSO simultaneously without the need for a KRX3 as long as the two signals are within the 192kHz maximum display width. It does not provide diversity reception, or QSK capability. For more specifics, feel free to email or call me directly. Larry N8LP Bob Peters wrote: > > > > Hi All..
