[Elecraft] LP Pan versus P3 Panadapters

[Don Cunningham]

Paul,
I don't see you getting a lot of comments, so I'll throw in a few cents 
worth, hi.  I bought the P3 for several reasons, but the main one is NOT for 
what it is right now, but what I think it will be over time.  It will have 
VGA output at some time and allow the big screen, and I feel we, as 
operators will have some input into what is on the display.  It will add 
features as we go that I can't even think of right now.

I didn't go the LP Pan or other SDR route as I didn't want to have to buy a 
high dollar computer to do my hamming.  Same reason, among others, that I 
won't consider the Flex radios.  I want a radio, with knobs, not a computer 
program!!  The cost of the computer needed to do SDR right was about the 
same as the P3 was initially.

YMMV, but that's my take.  Elecraft remains responsive to our wants/needs, 
as long as they are reasonable.  I have full confidence I won't regret the 
initial price and price of add-ons as they come.
