Dear Wayne, Eric, et al,
Please, in the final design of the P3, pay some serious attention to the CABLES connecting the P3 to the K3. There are many of us who have an intractable problem of RF in the shack due to space restraints that require the shack and the radiating part of the antenna to be too close. (Loops in the attic, dipoles on the roof, rain-gutter antennas, etc.)
Maybe you should offer optional special cables that are just barely long enough to reach between the two units with the P3 in its canonical position directly beside the K3. And the cables themselves need to be of especially good quality and perhaps fitted with a choke or two.
Please check the K3-P3 system out in a hostile RF environment.
Tnx and 73,
Oliver
