Soundcard for LP Pan

[Bill Maddock-2]

I am considering getting the N8LP LP pan - My K3 already
has the transverter board - what is everyone running
for a sound card - N8LP list several - sure would like some
input!  Also how long does it take to assemble the LP-Pan
kit

Thanks and 73,

Bill N4ZI  k

Bill the answer about which sound card is: "It depends..."  There's a good summary of sound cards by N8LP himself here:

http://www.telepostinc.com/soundcards.html

There's also a very active LP-PAN list at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LP-PAN/

I didn't build my unit (pre-assembled beta unit) but I believe it would only take a few hours.

Well, I purchased a Emu 0202.  I can't tell you how well it works yet
because my K-3 is still with Elecraft having the sub receiver, the
transverter board and a second general coverage filter installed.  I also do
not yet have the N8LP unit itself.  I chose that soundcard because it seemed
to be highly recommended and it offered the opportunity for using it not
only on the desktop but also my laptop computer should I choose.  I guess I
will find out soon whether it was the right choice.

Bill,

I am using the Infrasonic Quartet with a prebuilt 'run one' LP-PAN. I
followed the setup for that card on the N8LP site and it works well with
up to 192kHz in view at one time. I now need to do the IF buffer mod to
reach a bit further down into the noise floor.

Only possible snag: it is a PCI card so if you use a laptop you will
have to try one of the other solutions.

Good luck,
Pete F5VNB/G4PLZ
K3 #900 (with KRX3 kit sitting beside it)

Rest easy.  You will not be disappointed.

I'm using it with the LP-PAN and K3 #806.  It's great!  It even helped me
discover an illegal FM transmission in the 80m CW band last week.  The FCC has
been notified.
