[Elecraft] Elecraft newbie considering K3 vs KX3

[tom betka]

Right...good points. I ordered the module needed to support either the P3 or the LP-PAN, but I didn't make the final decision just yet. But still, the LP-PAN wouldn't be a bad way to go for less money, and then just add the monitor to another video card. The monitor would be needed for the P3 anyway, and I have an extra video card. So a guy might just try it with the LP-PAN at first, and then upgrade to the P3 later, if the spirit moves him...
Thanks for the post.
