[Elecraft] The P3 Effect

[Doug Turnbull]

Eric,
    This seldom works for me as so many are constantly calling a DX station
that determining who is supposed to be there is difficult.   I have to tune
and listen with the K3 and sometimes this is not so easy when so many
stations call continuously.  I tend to use the P3 to find a relatively free
frequency to make my call from.   Maybe this is a problem in Europe only but
I doubt it.

     The P3 remains a powerful tool which I would not like to be without!

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.
