Click on a signal and your main rig leaps to that frequency. But it gives you a view of the complete band or any portion thereof. The RTL-SDR dongle does not work on transmit. MyPanadapter is not the equivalent of a multi-thousand dollar SDR transceiver. If you have a rig-control cable, HDSDR is all you need. Once I got it all working, I wanted to integrate HDSDR with DXLab for logging, spotting, rig control etc. But Steve sends along written and video instructions that are easy to follow.
This can be a bit of unfamiliar territory for some. The next step is setting up the software. Just open the case, run the supplied cable through a hole (no drilling) and then push the connectors onto two open pins (no soldering). The value of seeing the activity on an entire band (even all of 75/80 meters) cannot be underestimated. I hooked this kit up to my Kenwood TS-480 SAT and it is a superb addition. I highly recommend this product and the company owner. Or you can pay Steve.he has done the homework, provided all the materials and instructions (including getting the RTL-SDR to work with the software, which is NOT trivial), and made it idiot-proof.īuy or do-it-yourself? This is a no-brainer how much is your time worth to you? Why would you do any other path than buy from Steve? Could you do this yourself? You could do the research, make your own cable, buy your own RTL-SDR dongle, try to figure it out on your own for about the same cost.
What do you get for your purchase? An RTL-SDR with supporting software, detailed instructions with pictures, prepped high-quality cable. Steve's kit and detailed instructions are top-notch. Giving a good rig (TS-480) the ability to have a panadapter is much more economical than buying a new SDR rig. Steve, KA9MOT, promptly replied and sent a replacement cable. I had an issue with the cable and some questions. So I finally made the plunge.Ĭustomer service - 5.

But I want to free that up for VHF/UHF, AND I want to have visibility of the IF tap from my TS-480 and its superb receiver. I resisted buying this for my TS-480, especially since I already have a DXE RTR-1 which allows me to have panadapter capabilities with my SDRPlay RSP-1. Radios currently supported: FT-920, FT-950, FT-1000D (not MP), IC-756ProII,III, TS-480SAT/HX (kits cost from $65 to $70)ĭISCLAIMER: I have no connection or financial relationship with this company. Do I need to solder anything to my board?Ī.
Your radio will work just as it always has. And if necessary, I can talk you through every step on the phone.Ī. No, my system is complete and come with everything you need.Ī. My Panadapter system does not use the sound card and can display as much as 3 MHz if you choose, and you can change that to suit your needs as easily as sliding a slider in the software. Most SDR (Software Defined Radio) Panadapters display less than 200 kHz of bandwidth because they rely on the sound card. The simple answer is that it allows us to see a panoramic display of the band our radio is tuned to.We can see every signal over the entire band. What is a Panadapter? A Panadapter is short for Panoramic Adapter. EMail SubscriptionRegistered users are allowed to subscribe to specific review topics and receive eMail notifications when new reviews are posted.
