Premise: It is more enjoyable working them than not-- the quicker the
better.
Let's face it DXing is a competitive undertaking. Besides power and
antenna dB's, there is another "space race" war going on.
Technology has equipped many station with panadapters of some sort.
They have proved so useful that those without them are at a huge
disadvantage.
So to stay even with the crowd, one almost has to have one.
DXpeditions have been impacted negatively. They can't listen on the
same frequency for more than one or two QSO's. That frequency becomes a
wall of unreadable stations. Thus they move their receive frequency
between QSO's. Finding that pattern is really hard without a
panadapter.
Don't shoot the messenger.

How can you enjoy a radio without a pan adapter or spectrum display nowadays?
After using the P3 for close to six years, I would never even consider a radio
without something with that functionality. Still thinking about it? Hello,
just don’t think anymore. Just use the plastic and enjoy ham radio again!

Greetings,
I have yet to be convinced I need a panadapter for HF but its use for weak
signal 6m use is what has my attention. That said, I have seen the P3 and an
LP-Pan demonstrated but nothing else. I realize I am probably trying to compare
apples to oranges but how do these stack up against each other? Can anything
besides the P3 be used to point and click for QSY? I think the P3 lends itself
to my rudimentary comfort level with computers but I do have good tech support
in my wife. That said, fire away....
Tnx,
Jim, W5QM
