Thanks Bill, I have an LP-PAN coming. Assuming LP_Bridge comes along to allow PowerDSR to control K3 - is there some great benefit over HRD? Any benefit? I have used PowerSDR a small amount with softrock and then switched over to Rocky. Also, I just read my QST last night, it has a review on Flex 5000. Read the ending paragraphs "is Flex for you?" It indicates that association with the PC is mandatory from the start and if you enjoy such things, Flex could be your Nirvana. K3 allows me to have a base radio, and then address the computer association later, if I want, and to the extent of my interest. It's also instant on. I consider these pluses, Ymmv, etc... ;-) [Elecraft] K3 Computer Interface Bill W4ZV btippett at alum.mit.edu Wed Jun 11 07:24:51 EDT 2008 wb8yqj wrote: > > Can anyone comment on the relative merits of the > PowerSDR computer interface versus HRD? > HRD is primarily rig control and PowerSDR is a DSP program for SDRs. WU2X wrote a version of PowerSDR-IF that will operate on the K3's IF via LP-PAN. However it requires HRD for rig control, so you actually run both simultaneously. Eventually N8LP will publish LP-Bridge which will allow PowerSDR to directly control the K3. http://www.wu2x.com/sdr.html For background on the LP-PAN: http://www.telepostinc.com/LP-PAN.html To run any of the SDR programs (PowerSDR, CW Skimmer, Winrad) on the K3, you need the following: KXV3 > LP-PAN > Sound Card > Computer > DSP software. The specifics of the sound card and computer required vary depending on the speed and resolution needed. 73, Bill -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/K3-Computer-Interface-tp17774355p17775332.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
