Hi Don,
Thank you for the SSCW contact this past weekend. I believe you were the one

Has anyone had an opportunity to compare LP-PAN with the SDR-IQ using
SpectraVue? I am interested in using the K3 in a compact, portable
environment with my laptop PC where I would like to avoid the use of an
external sound card if possible, and the SDR-IQ seems to meet this
requirement.
Are you asking about RX audio, TX audio or both? SSB, AM, FM, or (for
RX) CW?
For CW, I find the K3 to be the 3rd best audio I've ever had. The Drake
2B and K1 both had smoother sweeter sounding CW tones but their AGC left
a lot to be desired. The K2 was 3rd in line with good sounding CW and

Thank you to all that responded.

Uh, actually, I don't think that is the best. Feeding the rigs through
a stereo amp to stereo speakers will certainly give you more frequency
response and may smooth the midrange some, but it will also give you
much more high freq noise and low freq rumble. It may make signals

If you are using a USB to serial adapter, try setting the speed as high
