[Elecraft] [P3] Discoveries

[dalekretzer]

  The post by Gary, VE1RGB, about unexpected benefits of having the P3 
panadapter struck a chord with me worth sharing.

I have what appears to be a local noise source that I knew previously 
moved around a bit, but I thought it was intermittent. With the P3 just 
hooked up a few days ago, I now can see that noise not only is always 
on, but it also moves around a lot more than I thought. Unless I had 
been spinning the dial of the K3 all over the band(s), I'd never have 
realized this without the panadapter.

The added knowledge has inspired me to haul out the little KX1 and 
handheld loop antenna and go noise sniffing. Too bad I can't as easily 
tote the P3 along, but I'm sure tickled with the many unexpected 
benefits of having such a wonderful addition to the Elecraft lineup.
