    Glad I found this thread as I have an R8500 and an AOR AR5000 and have been trying to figure out how not to sell them.
    It seems panadapter is the way to go but I have one question ……… does the SDR have to have the same freq range as the receiver in order to use the full range of the receiver or does the SDR panadapter just act like a passthrough?

    For instance the RSP1A goes up to 2Ghz but my AR5000 goes up to 2.6Ghz. Would I be able to go up to 2.6Ghz using the SDR panadapter?

    thanks
