[Elecraft] P3 cursors

[Geoffrey Mackenzie-Kennedy]

Hi Stewart,

As I am not familiar with the P3, and I do not know how many markers are 
available, but if several markers are available then your suggestion if 
followed would remove a lot of mental arithmatic during a DX pileup.  I use 
my Perseus as a panadapter, and it displays the frequency difference (and 
amplitude difference) between a signal at Marker1 and other signals marked 
by the other markers, when in delta mode.

As just one of several examples.  As do many others, I attempt to discern 
the DX station's listening pattern in a pileup before calling.  By placing 
Marker 1 on the DX's frequency and the other markers on the frequency of 
each station being worked, the listening pattern in most cases soon becomes 
clear if the marker deltas are displayed.  No mental arithmatic :-)

Coupled with "Quick Split", a powerful combination, but that's another 
subject.

73,
