Bill,

Your number 3 would be helpful and has been long promised and was, I was
told, on the list at either number one or two...since then, not a word so
not sure when/if it will see the light of day.

I may be in the minority, but I bought my P3 with this feature in mind and
I was told it would be implemented in the future but I am not sure how
'future' relates to the present...:-)   (of course age creates some spacial
discrepancies..TIC)

The Sensor input on the rear of the P3 I was told is for the Tx monitoring.

Other folks here may know some more.
