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.
If one is into the GUI interface, such a configuration would
provide a real receiver with proper filtering close to the antenna
and still have all the point and click control one might want.
