[Elecraft] P3 at Orlando hamfest pictures and movies

[Eric Swartz -WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

The display artifact that was visible when I adjust the marker is not 
something that will be present on the released P3. I had just loaded the 
latest engineering code into my unit for the show and it had a number of 
minor items like this that had just appeared in the last pass. We'll 
make sure they aren't there at release. (I haven't actually seen the 
video - I'm half awake flying home at 34,000 ft. Just hooked up to the 
in-flight wi-fi a few minutes ago.)

The P3 code is well structured and is working amazingly well. I'm very 
happy with the speed of display and resolution. To be honest, I actually 
slowed -down- the sweep time to 40 ms per pass to make it look its best. 
(Its adjustable in the menu.) Its blindingly fast. I think I also may 
have had the signal averaging function turned on with an average of 
three passes per average when they took those shots. This is also far 
form our final code. We have a number of unique features coming that 
were not enabled for the show. (The P3 firmware is downloadable just 
like the K3..)

I'll post more info later on this week after I get caught up from the 
trip. It will take several days as my mailbox is overflowing from four 
days on the road.

73, Eric   WA6HHQ
