Great information!! The Airspy & N1MM+ Spectrum display is pretty cool.
It is radio independent (K3, FTdx500, etc). The cost is $200. It is
dead easy! My guess the Flex guys used the software included.
So about 12% of the teams used the Airspy HF+. My guess is that you had
most of them were using N1MM+. I would also like to know who was using
what (radios, software, etc). I have not looked at the web site. If I
remember someone did a list for WRTC 2014.
I like the Win4K3 suite. For me the missing part is the ability to
include the Airspy HF+. I don't use my P3... It will more than likely go
back into the box.

My teammate and I decided that we wanted to have a panadapter with mouse support
and point & click functionality for WRTC 2018. Unfortunately we did not find
the time to build and test alternative solutions to the P3 and consequently decided
against an Elecraft K3S as our radio. However, the K3/K3S still was a very popular
radio at WRTC so I did a survey on the WRTC-teams mailing list and asked about
their panadapter solutions.
My questions were:
1) Did you use the P3 as a panadapter?
2) If not the P3
a) which hardware solution did you choose?
- e.g. which SDR/splitter etc?
b) which software solution and how did you integrate the waterfall display?
- e.g. on a separate PC/monitor or on the same PC/monitor as your logging
software?
- if on the same PC how did you handle the program focus?
c) would you use the P3 if Elecraft added mouse support for point & click?
Here is the summary:
I got 20 replies in total.
6 used the Elecraft P3 panadapter.
14 went with another solution and chose the following hardware:
Airspy HF+: 8
Funcube Pro USB: 2
SDRplay RSP1A: 1
Winradio: 1
Perseus: 1
other SDR: 1
I got less detailed answers regarding the use of splitters:
commercial splitter: 1
passive T-connector: 1
no details given: 12
The software used was
HDSDR: 4
N1MM spectrum display: 3
Writelog spectrum display: 2
SDR-console: 2
SDR-radio.com: 1
no details given: 2
I received very little information on how to integrate the panadapter. 2 were
using HDSDR with the logging PC/monitor and used an autohotkey macro to get the
focus back to the logging software.
11 (5 of P3 group, 6 of second group) would use the P3’s mouse functionality if
Elecraft added it.
The remaining 8 of the second group indicated that their solution, while more
elaborate, is smaller, lighter and less expensive than the P3 and they would
therefore stick to it.
The replies also indicated that the native P3 users were using scope functionality
predominantly in a passive way, e.g. watching general band activity and signal
strengths. Those aiming to use the scope more actively were looking for solutions
providing a fixed waterfall display with mouse support and point & click
functionality. This allowed them to more effectively do search & pounce, interleave
QSOs or click a new CQ frequency.
