K3 With SDR-IQ
Locked
 
|
If you're using the K3 and a SDR-IQ to have a panadapter; I'd like to know
if there were any issues in setup or did things run smoothly? I have the IQ running with another radio and plan on using it with the K3. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Works flawlessly using LP-Bridge here to "connect" the K3, SDR-IQ, N1MM and DXBase.

I used one a while ago and it worked well in casual work. I experienced crashes during contests so I replaced it with P3. Perhaps with more careful setup it could work reliably, but best with a separate monitor.

I had problems frequently with the one I had when I tried it on one of my
K3's, spent more time fooling with it than using. When I used it with other gear FTDX-5000MP worked fine but nothing like the P3 when I used with the 5000. IMHO sell the SDR-IQ and use the money toward a P3. 73 & Good DX, Fred N0AZZ -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Joe Subich, W4TV Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2014 10:27 AM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 With SDR-IQ > I experienced crashes during contests so I replaced it with P3.

While the P3 fits in nicely with the rest of the Elecraft gear, you can’t compare it to the SDR-IQ.
With the SDR-IQ you can use your mouse to click on a signal, and you can listen on a different frequency on the same band (within the 192 KHz range). You can also select from the many different software applications with options such as recording, etc. It can also be used standalone as an excellent HF receiver. 73 de Sebastian, W4AS On May 06, 2014, at 11:39 AM, Fred Smith <[hidden email]> wrote: > I had problems frequently with the one I had when I tried it on one of my > K3's, spent more time fooling with it than using.

I'm using LP-Pan2, NaP3, and an M-Audio Delta card in my Win7 computer
with the signal from the K3 IF out. I use microHAM Device Router [comes with my CW keyer] for linking the K3, NaP3, and N1MM [for contesting]. This package runs flawlessly for both general operating and contesting. I did not get a P3 for space reasons; don't know what it can and cannot do. Others will no doubt fill in this gap. The above combination is very versatile in my operating environment, and at this point I can't imagine operating without it. In a contest, it's a game changer IMHO. The pan display is on the same monitor as all other operating related programs, and this has not presented any problems, even in contest conditions. I gather that the P3 is a turnkey approach and works right out of the box. That's an advantage. Assembling the various components for a "unique" pan installation is a bit tricky, no doubt; it was for me. This occurs because each component has its own setup parameters, and getting all the parameters from various elements to work together does take some time and help. Once its properly organized/setup it's transparent, or at least it is here. ...robert -- Robert G Strickland, PhD ABPH - KE2WY [hidden email] Syracuse, New York, USA ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

It gives a great view of the band, allows for mouse-click or mouse-wheel tuning if desired, and so on and so forth. Anything bad you've heard about bugs in PSDR probably doesn't apply to NaP3, which is pretty solid. If for some reason you want to listen to the SDR output via your computer, you can do that too, using the PSDR filters and other features -- although the K3 is way better. But anyway, I agree with Robert: if you want a good K3-SDR combo, this one is a beauty.

You can do that with a K3 -- either using the 2nd VFO or the second RX. Remember that the K3 and KX3 are really SDRs with knobs. You can also feed the IF to both a P3 and to a computer running SDR software. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

The point is there are alternatives to purchasing a P3, the VGA option, a second monitor, and a second receiver for the K3.
Only the KX3 has an I/Q output which can be used without external hardware. 73 de Sebastian, W4AS On May 07, 2014, at 12:32 PM, Jim Brown <[hidden email]> wrote: > On 5/6/2014 9:02 AM, Sebastian, W4AS wrote: >> With the SDR-IQ you can use your mouse to click on a signal, and you can listen on a different frequency on the same band (within the 192 KHz range). > > You can do that with a K3 -- either using the 2nd VFO or the second RX.
