I second that. Having tried a couple other panadapter solutions I found the P3 to be the most reliable with the least amount of hassle. The one shortcoming in my mind is using the tiny knob to QSY... Full mouse support would be welcome. I've found that the small screen works better than anticipated, so have not added the SVGA option. Maybe someday. Another worthy contender is the built in SDRPlay support in Win4K3 Suite. It, too is pretty much plug and play, and gives you the point and click mouse support. I have mine connected to the IF output of the P3, and can use them in tandem when desired. On Fri, May 26, 2017 at 10:41 AM George Thornton < gthorn...@thorntonmostullaw.com> wrote:
