[Elecraft] P3 desires

[Bill Frantz]

I have been using the P3 for a while now and have a few desires:

(1) When the notch filter is active, show where it is in the 
green filter bandwidth display. I found I could easily know when 
to turn the notch filter off when using auto-notch in SSB by 
watching the P3 display. I could not do the same when using 
manual notch to eliminate a strong PSK signal.

(2) Save the display parameters -- scale, span, ref lvl etc. -- 
by band and mode. I like a very wide span for SSB so I can see 
many stations and a narrow one for PSK so I can see individual stations.

And more controversially:

(3) Keep the waterfall running during transmit so the display 
gives a sense of elapsed time. This change would occur naturally 
if the P3 is modified to monitor the transmitted signal. 
(Monitoring the transmitted signal might help us PSK folk keep 
our signals clean too.)

What do people think?

Cheers - Bill, AE6JV
