Neither the SDR-IQ or the LP-PAN have sound cards in them.

Hi Drew,
Let's differentiate between an engineering concept and a manufacturing
design.
The engineering concept of these knobs is certainly reasonable. For
example, when nested knobs nest properly, that's just fine.--they look good
and work as planned. Great concept!
A design that is
The LP-PAN/E-MU 0202 combo, which seems to be the sweet spot,
are just a little more than half the price of the SDR-IQ.
That's not correct. LP-Pan = $225 (assembled), E-MU 0202 =
$199.95 (list) ... total $425 vs. $499 list for the SDR-IQ.
The difference in street prices will vary
sdriq has a usb connection which means i can use it with my laptop as a

the lp-pan needs a soundcard so i had to have something much bigger/less

Hallo Greg,
using SDR-IQ with SpectraVue 2.34 you dont need a virtual com port - in the
SDR-IQ setup menu you must only select ext radio=Elecraft K3. Try SpectraVue
3.0 Beta 30, there are some more option as in 2.34.

Who cares -- their impedance is far too low to make a dent in HF noise. The

Hi Lance,
I had exactly the same reports from local stations when I tried to use the
