Hi Fred, I realize I'm pretty late in the thread but... if you are willing to experiment, you can check out my blog post here: http://www.aerodynes.fr/2014/01/08/kx3-gnuradio-spectrum-visualisations/ This uses GNURadio to do really nice looking IQ spectrum visualizations with the KX3.

Fred, Seems like I recently saw a lightning T-splitter which might work announced (related to the new iPhone with no headphone jack), by Belkin I believe. I wonder if that might be a solution to charging in such a situation. OTOH -- my iPad Mini battery seems to last a very long time.

Depends on which adapter you bought. This will allow charging and USB 3 (and USB 2) passthrough: http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MK0W2AM/A/lightning-to-usb-3-camera-adapter Look forward to hearing how this works.

Fred, one of the Apple lightning to USB adapters also contains a female Lightning connector that allows for charging/powering along with the USB interface. It is called the “Lightning Digital AV Adapter” I believe. 73 - Mike - K9JRI > On Sep 15, 2016, at 10:40 AM, Fred Moore

Fred, If you have the PigRemote it will serve as the RS-232 connection from iSdr to the KX3. If you do not then then just set the frequency on iSdr to 0 (zero) kHz and the frequency you are tuned to will be at center screen and other signals will be displayed as plus or minus kHz. It works

Fred, what is your goal? The KX3 does not require any SDR software. Panadapter, try iSDR on the iPad. If you have a PigRemote it will even display the KX3's frequency. It connects to the I/Q jacks. Fill us in what functions you are looking for. Michael Blake k9...@mac.com > On Sep 14,
