But there is no real advantage in Elecraft bringing out a "me too" version
of the LP-Pan or SDR-IQ. By making the P3 a standalone product they are
providing an alternative that is likely to be appealing for the same reasons
people chose a K3 over a Flex Radio.

I do agree it could be useful to bring out the I/Q signals from the
panadapter so they could be used by external software but for all any of us
knows it may have that capability. If it doesn't then now is the opportunity
to let Elecraft know that it should have it.
