[Elecraft] P3SVGA - Coming soon

[Oliver Dröse]

John,

I would not call it a "disaster". It simply works as expected! The P3 is a 
stand-alone pan-adapter which now gets a bigger screen, that's it. It is 
still self-contained, that's what the product is all about. If you want 
something linked to your computer go for an SDR-IQ (or similar solutions) on 
the K3's IF-out then you will have everything on your PC and can arrange the 
windows as you like. ;-))
