[Elecraft] a P3 first impression

[Duncan Carter]

I received a P3 late Friday and got it configured Saturday.  After a 
weekend of dxing with a minimal antenna setup, I 'm wondering how I ever 
operated without the P3 since I'm finding dx that I wouldn't have found 
without it.  It has an added benefit in that I can tell if my neighbor's 
horrible new plasma TV is on without having to get near the rig.  If the 
waterfall is all green, there is no point in trying to operate.  On 80, 
the plasma TV raises my noise floor from - 102 dBm to - 82 dBm.on 80 and 
the only band that it doesn't wipe out is 15 meters.
