[Elecraft] P3, what lies ahead?

[Jack Brabham]

There was a comment by Wayne on a recent similar thread which intimated 
that some level of P3 integration with the station PC is being 
developed, or at least that is what I read into the comment.

I expect to purchase a P3 at some point, but am inclined to wait until 
the product matures a bit and the level of functionality improves.   In 
particular, I'm looking for the ability to port the display to the PC so 
I can enlarge it enough to be readable with my old eyes and the ability 
to do point and click tuning.

Actually, a no display, PC only version of the P3 would be very 
interesting, especially if it got a little less expensive in the process 
of loosing it's local display and knobs.
