[Elecraft] New to Me P3 Benefit

[Robby.VY2SS]

I have also found that my S&P productivity has improved dramatically using
the P3 both on CW and RTTY. It's a big advantage when tuning up or down the
band to be able to see what is happening  ahead of you.  

On RTTY I will usually line up the marker on the next signal and jump to it
with the tap=QSY on the P3. I use the 5 kz span without the waterfall. With
a little practice, no manual fine tuning is necessary. I seldom have to
touch the main VFO on the K3 while I S&P in that mode. I wish I could do
that with a mouse (hint). On CW the P3 together with the second RX allows me
to find and ID stations before I get to them.

It has always cost me points in contests because I am lazy and prefer to RUN
but now I'm getting much better rates from S&P and that encourages me to do
it more.

When I'm looking for a RUN frequency, if there is one, the P3 helps me find
it.

My eyes are on the P3 almost all the time when I'm operating.

73,
