Lp.pan & k3s
Locked
 
|
Hi all
I have just aquired an lp pan interface but with no cables which is no big deal as I should have plenty around the shack but I'm not sure how to connect it to the radio. I see plenty of info on the net for connection between k3. So hope someone can point me in the right direction as to what I need for connecting to k3s. And also any advice on software.

Hi Paul,
I was just getting around to asking the same question and wonder if we might merge efforts? I have a K3S and P3 with a new LP-PAN 2, hoping to get it working with a ASUS Xonar U7 external sound card and NaP3 software. From there, on to LP-Bridge and CW Skimmer. But if you have other hardware/software thoughts, I'll hold off. Bret/N4SRN |

Bret and Paul,
If you have the P3, connect the LP-Pan to the IF OUT on the P3. If you have only the K3 (K3S), connect LP-Pan directly to the IF output of the K3. The "rest of the story" is related to LP-Pan and your soundcard and your computer and the computer applications and is appropriate discussion on the LP-Pan Yahoo group. There is a lot of setup information at Larry's website www.telepostinc.com. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/23/2016 5:41 PM, MaverickNH wrote: > Hi Paul, > > I was just getting around to asking the same question and wonder if we might > merge efforts?

And don't forget to turn the IF OUT switch on the P3 from OFF to ON.
Don't ask how I know.

I was hoping that was my problem, but not so easy. I can't seem to get signal from the P3 to appear on my NaP3 install. I'll post my settings and ask for some advice.

I've made a PDF on Dropbox with Screen Captures of my settings
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1y7mnn3cpf4kukp/16-09-24%20LP%20Pan%20K3S%20P3%20U7.pdf?dl=0 As you can see - no signal on NaP3. Appreciate advice! Bret/N4SRN |

As an added note, I've looked to adjust Line In Levels on the Xonar U7 as per http://www.telepostinc.com/soundcards.html using the Digital Level Meter app. I find that the Elecraft Signal Generator XG3 -73dBm 14.02000 MHz signal shows on my P3 as a -81 dB peak on CW (and I hear it on the K3S headphones), but I find no change in turning the XG3 On/OFF while adjusting the full range of Line In Level on the U7 sound card (dB ranges -33.3 to -27 with or without XG3 signal).
If I switch my PC to the U7, I can hear YouTube videos, so I think my U7 is OK. If I run from IF Out on the K3S rather than the P3, still no success, so the P3 IF Out appears to not be the issue. Might be the LP-PAN 2 not be working? I'm only more mystified... Bret/N4SRN |

Is your LP-PAN 2 set up for K3, ie. does it have the correct xtal?

It was ordered from Telepost for a K3 - no K3S choice so I figured it was the same.

Well, I uninstalled the U7 and NaP3 drivers/software, installed a new U7 and re-installed and configured U7 and NaP3 drivers and software. But still no signal. CAT control works, but nothing but background noise on NaP3.
Is there a way to test the LP Pan 2 function otherwise? May I should try another SDR app? Bret/N4SRN |
