[Elecraft] P3

[Doug Turnbull]

Bob and All,
    One is happy with the small screen until the PSVGA card with large
display is installed then the bar is raised.    The larger screen allows one
to look at a larger portion of the band and to better visualize what is
there.   I remember thinking that a twelve inch black and white screen TV
was all that anyone could ever wish for.

     Trouble is that you can get to the point that you do not wish to
operate without the panadaptor - especially a really good panadaptor.   Then
when a friend considers remote operation with his K3/0, Elecraft can not
deliver.   My friend is driven to the new Flex 6000 as a result.   I am not
the ham concerned!  We become spoiled.   There is much to be said for being
happy with a KX1 and dipole but then ours is a technological hobby.

PS The other day while ten was open I observed a strange signal in the CW
portion of the band.   I tuned up to it and then changed modes until it
decoded using FM.   There were a few Italians carrying out a bootleg
personal conversation as if on the telephone.   I also find the P3 very
interesting to observe "noise signals" drifting up and down the band. The P3
adds to my knowledge of just what is happening on the band and for me is a
necessity.

It would be great to see K3 Tx on the P3. However, I continue to be dazzled
and appreciative of the P3. I love it and love the small screen next to my
K3. Perfect for me and very helpful.
