Well, it's been a long time since I posted about this! I actually tried a Soft66RTL2, and it worked ok. I ended up deciding to buy a SDRPlay, mainly because it has filtering, 8 mHz of bandwidth, 12 bit processing, and only costs 150 bucks. I plan on running it with SDR-Console, which is a pretty impressive software package. It is written by the same Simon Brown that wrote Ham Radio Deluxe, so I know it's got to be good. And the software is free at this time, so I'm going to roll with that. I found another FTDX-3000 user that has his SDRPlay hooked up to the RX out (rather than the IF out) and says it works great as a panadapter. I should receive the SDRPlay by the end of the week. Hopefully I'll have time to play with it and get it set up correctly.

73,
