[Elecraft] P3 External Monitor Displaying CW at HamCom Yesterday

[Randy Farmer]

I was told this was a test of new firmware for the P3SVGA. It seemed to 
do a fine job of decoding both PSK31 and CW (they had two P3s running, 
each decoding a different mode), although the signals consisted simply 
of an endlessly repeated callsign. At one point Friday afternoon we had 
a total power loss to the exhibit hall. The new firmware was 
sufficiently robust that it recovered from this unanticipated test. I 
didn't think to ask if keyboard input was also in this firmware, but I 
don't recall seeing a keyboard connected to either P3.
