K2 using LP-Pan2 to drive the PX3

Al Sather
I just got a PX3 and in the midst of learning to use it.
I also have a K2 with an added IF port (Z1000 buffer kit,Clifton
Laboratories).
My original intent was to use Larry Phipps', N8LP, LP-Pan-2, with my
modified K2 and software like NaP3 as a panadapter, but now I have a PX3.

Originally I used this setup with my Kenwood TS-850 and an external
sound card. The LP-Pan2 has crystals for both radios.

Now my question, can the K2 using LP-Pan2 I/Q ports be used to drive the
PX3, and if so how well will it integrate with the PX3?

The PX3 can decode the I/Q outputs from the LP-Pan just fine - you will
have a spectrum display.
However, integration is quite another question.  You will not have the
frequency display as you would when connected to the KX3.
