This topic in similar form has been covered in many different threads here and in the other TT groups. I want to add an external pan-adaptor to my older Eagle. My Eagle has no 9 MHz out and also has
Rick, I think it would help if folks knew what precisely you want out of the panadapter. They potentially offer lots of bells and whistles, but many/most might not be of interest to YOU. 73, Barry N1
In fact it would help even more if I knew what I want out of a panadapter! (hi) Probably the most interesting use would be to see the transmitted spectrum of stations on the band. If I hear broad spl
I actually think the Softrock Ensemble III will do everything you need. It will give you 48 khz of spectrum with your existing sound card. You will be able to see the transmit bandwidth of stations,
Also I would say the Watson W-SDRX1 looks very interesting and is the one I would likely get if I was in your position. It would be able to display many mhz of spectrum and not be limited to 48 khz a

I think in that regard the software plays as big a part as the hardware, so your choice of software will possibly govern what you can or want to do. Fortunately most are free so you can try or use se
Carl, Thanks. That is useful data. Actually I would prefer to have a receiver with a built-in soundcard. This is what's appealing about the FiFi or Watson solution. REASON: I only have a laptop in th
Tnx Martin. I'm still looking for suggestions of what I would do with this. Everyone keeps telling me I must get a Pan-Adapter but when I ask why, there seems to be a shortage of reasons. I had one b
2nd Reply to Martin I may have misunderstood you when you said "it depends on what software I want to run." Perhaps you meant what modes I want to operate. I will dab at PSK-31, but not seriously and

This is excellent information, Jim. THANKS. I'll need some time to digest all of it. The only bad part about your plan is, in my local vicinity, I am the youngest ham! :-( They all look to me for hel
I'm also interested in adding a spectrum display, but I'll be using a LP-Pan and a 192 kHz external sound card. I've read where others have used SDR receivers that allow monitoring several bands at o
I think it's a legitimate concern but I can't give specific recommendations. I'm using a robust PC with i7 cpu, 8GB RAM, SSD, and dual monitors running Win7 Pro/64-bit. Running a 10-year old PC might
Good point, Pete. Yes, I'm sure you will need lots of HP to do all of that. It's just hard to understand how much HP we need for each different solution. That is why I only want to do the most basic

In as much as low cost SDRs are so dependent on software and attached computer this is one area not to go one the cheap. I use SDR Console and a HP modestly priced (500.00) lap top. These in conjunc
GM George, I probably chose a bad acronym when I used "HP". I meant Horse Power. I think you mean Hewlett Packard. Do you happen to know the general specs of your computer off hand? Dual Core; ??GHz
I am actually using an optiplex dual core at my mountain house. It's fine for using panadapter programs. The panadapter program is the only high CPU user in what you have described. Also, my N4PY sof
I found the N4PY control program to be 1) easier to set up, and 2) quicker to get reliable and stable - compared with LPB2. Not that the latter does not get it right, but it just went smoother the fi
LP Bridge doesn't support Ten-Tec. It's not an option. "LPB2 provides support for K2, K3, Yaesu (950,2000,5000) and Kenwood." Barry N1EU _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing
