P3 or LP-Pan ?

P3 or LP-Pan ?

Having considered both options, I have decided to hold off purchasing either.

It is not so much the cost, shipping or VAT that puts me off, more the visual
confirmation of the amount of EMI spectrum pollution such as PLT that our
government allows to continue in the UK.

Stewart:

Whatever option you decide upon, you will find the panadapter to be a great
device for localizing and killing various forms of EMI interference.  For me
it's become almost an obsession to find a blip on the screen then start
throwing circuit breakers in an attempt to find the noise source.  Since the
time of owning the SDR-IQ unit, I have replaced power supplies on my
daughter's Sony Playstation, two wireless routers, an UPS for my home
office, several USB-to-Serial adapters and the noise floor is now reasonably
clean.

So beware, if you're concerned about EMI spectrum pollution, the addition of
a pan adapter is so useful that it may keep you busy for a while -- although
the exercise to/from the breaker panel will be good for you.
