[Elecraft] The P3 Effect

[eric norris]

Has anyone else noticed just how many people are now able to pounce on the last frequency TX5K used?  Back in the day you swapped VFOs and listened for the calling station.  After I got my P3 it seemed to be a real advantage because you could instantly find the calling station (if you could hear him).  Now so many people do this it seems to almost be a requirement to have a P3 or panadapter of some sort.  Of course, I could be wrong.
