I'm aware of L-Pan, SDR-IQ, Softrock, Perseus, Mercury, QS1R etc but
wondered if a dedicated "Elecraft" K3 panadaptor is
still on the development schedule or has this been dropped
in favour of the 3rd party offerings.
I would hope that it has not been dropped, if for no other reason,
because I assume it would communicate most efficiently with the K3
using Elecraft's internal bus. Of course there are also other
offerings in the pipeline, so it is hard to say what the Elecraft
roadmap may look like.
I have bought a QS1R, which I, among other things, plan on using as a
panadapter with my K3 until Elecraft releases their own. It should be
possible to do most of what Elecraft might do internally, with the
RS-232 serial port. What might be tricky is sharing the serial port
with logging software such as WinTest, but on the other hand, I do
hope to integrate WinTest band map information in the "live" spectrum
display. It would be cool if Elecraft's panadapter implements this
kind interoperation with logging software and/or DX-Clusters.
Happy New Year de toby
