[Elecraft] P3 display size? (more P3 pics)

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Believe me, the usable spectral display is much larger compared to the 
spectrum displays on other rigs. We use the wole screen for the dislpay, 
as opposed to rigs like thePRO-III that only use the bottom 1/4 of their 
displays for the panadapter. I'm a 52 yr old reading glasses kind of guy 
and the P3 is extremely pleasant for me to use. :-) It would be hard to 
get something much larger into a matching enclosure.

Here a link to the P3 and K3 with the P3 in full spectrum display mode.
(Note that our text fonts are now larger than that shown and are very 
easy to read. We will have selectable font sizes on the release version 
of P3.)

As you can see, the display is extremely sharp, bright and easy to read.

And in split screen, spectrum and waterfall mode:

We also have a full screen waterfall mode, among others. I'll add pics 
of that soon

These are very early versions of the f/w and display layouts. We are 
roaring ahead refining the f/w and various displays.

More pics soon!
