Thanks to all for the interesting ideas. I am now using the KX3 I/Q output to my PC line in (works equally well to mic input in rear) and the simple NaP3 software. Works great for panadapter and controlling the rig. I have ordered the inexpensive iMic soundcard to see if there will be any

It's not quite that simple. To be really useful, the KX3 would also have to support the special protocol we use between the P3 and K3 that keeps track of VFO frequencies, modes, filter bandwidth, etc. There's quite a bit of firmware involved. But I agree this would be a nice addition. 73,

Eric or Wayne, assuming the KX3/P3 interface is feasible, is it possible to build a PX3? A small monitor scope, perhaps half the size or less of the KX3? The P3 isn't what I would call portable. Having something small, even with less of a feature set than a P3, would make a great travel companion.
