Hi All

"Since Power SDR has a Kenwood CAT interface, I would bet it would
relatively easy to couple PowerSDR with a SoftRock40, a relatively
inexpensive soundcard and a few lines of custom software to both provide
a "bandscope" and fully control the K3"


There already is a modified version of PowerSDR that is similar to what
you are describing. It is a version that works with Ham Radio Deluxe and
a Softrock to allow point and click bandscope tuning in PowerSDR of any
radio that has an IF out (which includes the K3) and supported  by  Ham
Radio Deluxe.  I have tried it and it does work (Not on a K3 however,
still waiting on mine like the rest of us). To me this is the best of
both worlds, a High performance K3 controlled by computer and/or Knobs.
Sometimes I just don't want to have to boot my computer up to use my
radio, and at other times the features of bandscope point and click
tuning would be nice.

The software is at the following location: http://www.wu2x.com/sdr.html
