[Elecraft] P3 in TX consideration/suggestions ... maybe stupid

[juergen]

Hi Giorgio

It would also be nice if you could  define makers A and B to indicate signal level on the screen.

If you then could indicate the difference between marker A and B this also help. It would  also be nice if marker A and B could be set as peak reading markers.

Peak or level markers in all forms are most welcome.  Maybe even the ability to tune marker A or B  to any  peak and read the value on the screen.

If the P3 is going to be used for TX measurement levels the ability to define a TX mask would also be a nice feature.

If you are going to monitor your signal on the air a TX menu screen with a reduced span down to say 20 or 40 khz,  peak markers every 5khz  would be nice. This feature would give  you the peak level of your TX IMD at these points. This would be a good way of ensuring a clean signal. This  TXTEST feature in Linrad is superb for this application.

I suppose good wine takes time! 

The are many SDR receivers  that  have been on the market for years now,  even  these dont have these features yet. Many of the designers and users of these products dont appreciate the value of these products as spectrum analyzers and measuring tools.
