[Elecraft] K3 and whats next from Elecraft

[Bill Frantz]

Terry - Thanks for your long and educational email.

I have used my P3 with a short wire antenna for environmental RF 
noise location. It seems to work well, although the tuning UI 
was not designed with that application in mind. :-)

Walking around with it, a separate battery, and antenna is a bit 
of a PITA however. CCing Rose to see if she has a solution.

Cheers - Bill, AE6JV/1
