[Elecraft] Still More P3 Details

P3 / K3 ideas


Perhaps there could be more than one version of the P3.   I am thinking 
about a version that had NO display, but instead was configured for a 
user provided flat-screen external display.  That way the details could 
appear as large as the user was willing to provide a screen to "fit", so 
to speak.  This could be the P3N (for no monitor)  that could fit a 
smaller enclosure on the operating desk, perhaps fit inside the K3 
itself using one of the spaces now reserved for a transverter or 
something, .  


A similar screen / external monitor idea could be adapted to the K3 
itself. 


I see a time in the not too distant future when the ham-shack has 
"morphed" into a "glass cockpit", with a row of displays, one for the 
rig, one for the DX cluster, one for the P3 functions, one for 
monitoring / reading various data type signals, and so on.   All 
controlled by a mouse and finger-wheel,  truly a "point and shoot" 
ham-shack.


We now return you to our regularly scheduled program.    < grin>
