Panadapter Setup for K2 - Where can I read-up on this? Goos source for advice?

I am looking for a source for good advice to set up a panadaper, software etc for the K2. Best to get/build, how to set it up etc.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Dean

Dean,

The plan for the P3 as I have heard it is to also support the K2 IF, and
I cannot recall if the LP-PAN is available with an IF input to match the
K2 IF. You would need a buffer amplifier added to your K2 to bring the
IF signal out. There is a version of Jack Smith's Z10000 buffer
amplifier kit just for that purpose. Check
http://www.cliftonlaboratories.com/z10000_buffer_amp.htm for more
information.
You will also find on that same page that you can use a Softrock
receiver to produce the panoramic display on a computer display rather
than a P3 or LP-PAN if that less expensive alternative appeals to you.
(I don't know how many SoftRock 6.2 boards Tony Parks has available, but
you can ask).

73,
Don W3FPR

check here for softrocks.

http://www.kb9yig.com/

they are still in high demand so you may have to check daily to see
when more are added.
