A panadapter is a specialized spectrum analyzer connected to a 
receiver's IF output port to provide a swept frequency versus amplitude 
display of signals nearby (+/- 100 KHz or so) of the frequency to which 
the receiver is tuned.

Originally called a panoramic adaptor (note the "or" spelling), the name 
seems to have morphed into panadapter (with the "er" ending) sometime ago.

You can see some photos of the ones I will be showing at Dayton at 
http://www.cliftonlaboratories.com. You can see Larry's PIC wattmeters 
at http://www.telepostinc.com.

The table number (517) is indoors.
