Re: comparing P3, LP-Pan, SDRPlay, others?

Dave Fugleberg
I used a Softrock and a Xonar U7 USB sound card for awhile til I got my P3.
I tried a few different SDR software packages, which each had their pros
and cons.
Now that I have a P3, my Softrock and U7 are for sale.
The Softrock I have is overkill for a panadapter - it's a RXTX Ensemble in
a KM5H case, when all that's really needed is a receive-only unit. The U7
is about 6 months old- I only bought it to see more of the band at once.
If anyone is interested, please contact me off list at [hidden email].

The U7 also makes a great audio interface between computer and radio. If
you don't already have a good one, you might consider hanging onto it
for when you work RTTY, PSK, JT65, etc. It is, for example, far superior
to a SignaLink USB and the sound cards built into most laptops, to the
extent that the U7 provides much better decoding of weak signals. If you
own a K3S, or have added the KIO3B to your K3, you don't need the U7. :)
