[Elecraft] P3 for EME

[elecraft at g4fre.com]

I used the P3/K3 combo to keep an eye on the activity on the bands 1.3 thro
10GHz during the European tropo microwave contest last weekend. It was useful,
however I had to disable the direct frequency readout on these bands as the P3
"tune and click" knob could not cope with bands above 144MHz. Reported to Wayne
