John, I would not call it a "disaster". It simply works as expected! The P3 is a stand-alone pan-adapter which now gets a bigger screen, that's it. It is still self-contained, that's what the product is all about. If you want something linked to your computer go for an SDR-IQ (or similar solutions) on the K3's IF-out then you will have everything on your PC and can arrange the windows as you like. ;-))
