P3 vs SDR-IQ

N1IX-2
Has anyone compared the SDR-IQ as a panadapter with the P3?

 

I am using the SDR-IQ now but would like to be able to use my entire
computer screen for other displays during contests.

Re: P3 vs SDR-IQ

I have seen a couple in operation but do not personally own a P3.  I do use an
SDR-IQ running SpectraVue on my K3 and have a second one to use with my new K3S
when it gets back from Elecraft rehab:-(

To me the P3 display is just too small.  Apparently, many agree, hence the VGA
adapter.  So if you get a P3 you might decide you need a bigger monitor, which
puts you back in your dilemma.  Why not just add the second monitor to your
setup now.  All of my software runs on a laptop with a 22-inch external
monitor.  When I get my station rearranged, I plan to run two big monitors.

In my case my use of the panadapter in a contest is for

A. Finding a run frequency
B. Observing above and below when experiencing interference, plus A above
in deciding whether to get a different run frequency.
C. Catching all the active frequencies when search and pounce

None of these require the pan adapter window on top all the time. Plus I
can reduce window size for much of the usage.

I *do* have a very large 30 inch 2560x1600 monitor which is great for
multiple windows.

Yes, I have both.  The SDR-IQ with SpectraVue remains off 95%
of the time while I use the P3 (without SVGA) for everything
else.

The P3 does not provide a second receiver (but I have the KRX3)
or the ability to QSY by clicking a mouse on the screen but I
haven't missed that capability.

The P3 runs even when the computer is off and does not tie up
computer resources or screen real estate like SDR-IQ/SpectraVue.
