K3S HDSDR as a panadapter with IF out

I have a Perseus and I wonder if anybody is using a similar set up as a panadapter, the P3 has no mouse control and does not appeal to me having got used to HDSDR and Omnirig in the past. I suppose that I set the IF to 8.215 MHz in HDSDR? Any other tips?

I suspect that you could do as you suggest, but it is almost mindlessly
simple to use an SDRPlay driving Win4K3 Suite. You have mouse control
and other features.

Re: K3S HDSDR as a panadapter with IF out

Indeed that is true and I have both an SRP2 and Win4K3Suite, however an SDRPlay SRP2 is several orders of magnitude inferior to a Perseus and completely collapses during EU 6m Sporadic E which is where I will be using it. Win4K3Suite software is very nice I agree.

What is mindlessly simple is assuming that a fellow has not considered these choices first. K3S first rate receiver, Perseus 1st rate receiver, SDRPlay cheap and not very good.

Does anyone have any experience of the proposed HDSDR and Perseus configuration?

Re: K3S HDSDR as a panadapter with IF out

The Perseus receiver that gets overloaded on a busy band - Is it hooked
up directly to the antenna or to the IF out on K3s?

I would think that the front end of the K3s should help the receiver
hooked up on the IF.

Hi Conrad,
Select Input->Sound Card
Options->RF-Frontend: SDR on IF
Input, IF = don't care, Global
Offset=depends on the SDR-RX. I use Softrock with a modified clock, so
mine is -1.6kHz.

In reply to this post by Rajiv Dewan

Hi Raj the Perseus will not overload, that is exactly my point. The Perseus has close to the same blocking performance as the K3 so as a bandscope it will work great. You are correct that front end selectivity of the K3S will help any SDR attached to the IF port.

I thought that someone else may have had the same idea and already done it, hence the question.

Regards

Re: K3S HDSDR as a panadapter with IF out

I used a RSP-1 {SDR Play} on the IF output of my K3S before I purchased
my P3. I used HDSDR and OmniRig as the controlling software. I was
very pleased with its performance, ease of use, and ease of configuration.
