Don, I'm using a Softrock IF kit (plus Z10000B buffer amp) as a panadapter with a ~£275 Samsung NC10 netbook. Initially I was surprised but it works well with the internal Realtek HD soundcard.
It runs LP Bridge, PowerSDR/IF and N1MM or Logger23 smoothly; with an extra LCD monitor this gives me an integrated panadapter/logging system with a low dollar computer. Maximum span is ~90KHz. It's my normal mobile pc; I can take it to the shack, plug in a usb lead, vga lead (if I want to use the LCD monitor), a mic lead and bring it out of hibernate and I'm in business. Don't normally need the power supply unless I'm in for a long contest. 73, Stewart, GW0ETF Don Cunningham wrote: > > > I didn't go the LP Pan or other SDR route as I didn't want to have to buy > a > high dollar computer to do my hamming.
