[Elecraft] P3 Feature Request - Transmit sampling

[Sam Morgan]

I know we aren't suppose to do the 'me to' kind of posts here
and before hundreds of others add theirs and the topic gets canned 
(again)...

as far as I am concerned this is the only remaining 'feature' that ruins 
an otherwise perfect station combo.

perhaps the Flex is worth looking at again if this is never going to be 
addressed??
