The fatal flaw with the WIN4K3 implementation is that it won't
work in tracking mode. In tracking mode, available with NaP3 and
the P3, as you tune the radio a cursor representing the radio
frequency moves across a fixed spectrum. This has the advantage
that the waterfall display gives you a time history of signals
on each frequency across the spectrum slice being displayed.
This is extremely useful if you're running S&P, or even just
looking for a clear run frequency. WIN4K3 instead slews the
spectrum display with a fixed center receiver frequency, which
smears the waterfall display as the radio is tuned. WIN4K3 can
also broadcast I/Q data on a UDP stream for use with the
recently implemented spectrum display function in N1MM+, but
from what little I've played with the N1MM implementation it
appears to suffer from the same lack of a tracking mode. I can
send you some screen shots of the NaP3 and WIN4K3 displays if
you'd like so you can see what I'm talking about.

Does anyone know if there's any panadapter software out there to
use with an Elecraft K3? I'm not really interested in an
external piece of equipment like a P3. I ran across some
software called Win4K3Suite. It looks like it might have a built
in panadapter in the software. Anyone have any experience with
this software or can suggest something else. I've played with
the BeLoud.us station in Bonaire a couple times this year and
thought it would be neat to have some panadapter software
running on my split screen computer. While the Flex 6500 is a
nice radio I like my K3 and I still like to tune the bands using
a knob.
