Dear Elecrafters,

Thanks for the thoughts, experiences, and info on using an SDR as a panadapter. 
We're getting there now.

73 and HNY,

Andy, I used an SDR for a while and found it more trouble than it was worth 
imho. I just wanted something to work without any fuss so I splurged and picked 
up the P3. No regrets at all. 
Hope that helps.

"I see some people are using HDSDR software - I did try installing that, but it 
insists on using OmniRig v2, whereas my Logging program (Log4OM) and WSJT-X use 
OmniRig v1.1 and I'm not sure I can make the swap to Omnirig 2."

I use an RSP with OmniRig 1.20 and HDSDR 2.76a.  Support for OmniRig 1 was 
removed in HDSDR 2.80.  The combination makes a very useful panadapter and I 
find it unfortunate that the original OmniRig is no longer supported.

[Elecraft] Using a RSP1a as a Panadapter

2024-01-02 Thread Paul Barlow
Dear Elecrafters,

Again, I am late to the party. Santa brought me a SDRPlay RSP1a SDR which I had 
hoped to use as an IF panadapter for my K3/10. Unfortunately this isn't going 
as well as I hoped. I don't seem to be able to get proper panadapter function 
using the SDRUno software - it's perhaps no accident that although the company 
produce videos about setting a panadapter they are effectively second receivers 
using the antenna input, rather than the IF output. I know I could go down this 
route by looping the RX our RX in sockets with a tap for panadapter input, but 
I had hoped to use the IF out.

I see some people are using HDSDR software - I did try installing that, but it 
insists on using OmniRig v2, whereas my Logging program (Log4OM) and WSJT-X use 
OmniRig v1.1 and I'm not sure I can make the swap to Omnirig 2.

Are there users who have some experience of this who can help? I know the 
obvious answer is to source a P3, but getting a P3 from the Us which starts out 
at say USD 750 is likely to set me back close to USD 1000 because of freight 
costs and taxes by the time it's in my shack in Dublin.

Happy New Year to all.

73,

Paul EI5KI
