The panadapter software would need to directly control the KX3 based on
the primary transceiver's operating frequency (with or without an IF
offset). It needs to translate the Kenwood "auto-information" (or
frequency polling) data to the appropriate"FA" commands to set the KX3
receive frequency as necessary to track the primary transceiver. This
is no different than slaving a Flex-1500, Perseus, SDR-IQ, etc. to
any other transceiver using an RF splitter ("on frequency" panadapter
- 1500, Perseus, SDR-IQ, etc.) or an IF tap ("IF" panadapter - LP-Pan,
P3, Softrock, SDR-IQ with Spectravue, etc.).
