[Elecraft] P3 Question

[Vic K2VCO]

Keep in mind that a lot of functions of the P3 will only work with the K3 -- like QSYing 
with the knob on the P3.

Also -- you will only be able to use the P3 in tracking mode, not fixed-tune mode, unless 
the radio is a K3.

And... will it be able to display actual signal frequencies or will it display the IF 
frequency? I think it will show the IF frequency.

I think that all of these features depend on RS232 communication functions that are not 
implemented in the K2.
