[Elecraft] Slowed RS-232 with P3 installed

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

That is to be expected.  HRD polls any rig as fast as it possibly
can ... to the extent of overloading the rig CAT interface.  The
P3 must stop external polling data periodically to get its own
data so HRD will not have as big a "pipe" as it did before the
P3.

There does not appear to be any slowdown of other software that
polls on a more reasonable (e.g., 200 msec or so between polls)
basis.

73,
