Remote Spectrum Scope for the KX3 and K3 with LP-Pan February 2014

Starting with version 1.45 of Win4K3Suite, remote streaming of the spectrum scope is possible at a

44.1kHz sampling rate. There are a couple of prerequisites that need to be installed on the computer

that is attached to the radio and on the remote computer as well. You should also have Win4K3Suite

running remotely with Win4K3Suite Server. Please note that these instructions also apply to NAP3 if you

are using this with Win4K3Suite.

First download the VB Virtual Audio Cable available at

http://vb-audio.pagesperso-orange.fr/Cable/index.htm

The software is free but the author appreciates donations.

Second download Video Lan Media Player (VLC) at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html

Install both of these software packages using their defaults on both the Server and the Client.

Step 6: Start up Win4K3Suite, open the IQ Spectrum at 44 kHz and click on the Control panel and select

Connect and then "Cable Output (VB-Audio Virtual) and then click OK and close the Control Panel

That's it!

Currently the remote operation only supports 44.1 kHz. Work is underway to support 96 kHz. Higher

than this will not be supported since the VB Virtual Audio Cable only supports a maximum of 96kHz.

Also please note that NAP3 will also work with Win4K3Suite in the same way if you use this instead.
