I don't completely follow your description, so can't comment on what
you are seeing, but many of us who are using the IF panadaptor are
using the wu2x version of PowerSDR, along with Larry Phipps'
LP-Bridge. This gives the best panadaptor I have ever used, and I
have been using them since the early 1970's. Google them and read.

I was thinking the IF out port on my K3 was the problem after having
scoped all I could and leaving it lay for a while.
I brought the K3, softrock(K3 IF version), laptop, power
supply(needed the power pole connections), cables etc. to the
clubhouse for our weekly tech session. Coordinated with a couple of
others to bring a signal generator, another softrock(30meter
version), and laptop that works with his 30 meter softrock.
Hooked up the known working laptop(using "Rocky" software for
display), the K3 IF softrock, and the signal generator........
Softrock test - workie, workie.
Hooked up the softrock to the K3 and a piece of wire to the
blackboard for an antenna.......K3 IF test - workie, workie.
Conclusion is that I didn't realize the line in port on my old
laptop is likely a mono verses a stereo port.
BUT -
OK, Brainiacs:
MY misunderstanding of the IF port and how it works (I have had NO
experience with the IF port before and I realize this is "how they
all work") does not give me the display I expected.
I thought I was going to have a display that would keep my K3
centered and slide the other stations across the display as I tuned
my K3 giving me the real time view of all stations above and below
me where ever I tuned. WRONG. It stays put and I very quickly tune
completely off of the display.
IE. I thought the IF would output some amount of spectrum above and
below where ever the tuning dial and band was set.
If this is not available on the IF out, is there a point where this
spectrum is available?
Is this something that might be possible to implement in software?
Thanks es 73, de Jim KG0KP
