[Elecraft] Regarding the P3's screen font size

The very small font size shown in the photos was used because it was  
readily available at the time the hamfest demo firmware was being  
written. While using the P3, however, it became clear to me that I was  
having to work too hard to read the text. And I'm only 51 :)

Our next pass will use a larger font. We'll post photos so you can see  
what it'll look like. Through careful management of text position, I  
believe a larger size will work well for the P3's normal information  
displays.

But we'll always have multiple fonts available, including the small  
one, so that more information can be displayed when required. Font  
size will be adjustable via a menu entry in some cases; we won't use  
the smaller size unless the operator requests it.

We appreciate all of the input on P3 features. Many great ideas for  
features, I/O, etc.
