[Elecraft] P3 Feature Request - Transmit sampling

[Geoffrey Downs]

If you disconnect the RS232 cable between the P3 and the K3, the P3 display 
stays on during tx and shows the tx signal. I haven't tried it in digital 
modes but it certainly works for CW and SSB. It's a good workaround that has 
been mentioned on this reflector in the past.

73 to all

I would like to state a glitch that happens once in a great while on my P3. 
It will stay on while transmitting and I see my transmitted signal.  If it 
is a glitch, it must be a SW one because the display hardware is doing its 
job.  Then one would suggest it could be toggled on and off????  What a 
wonderful thought.... hint hint.....

Mel, K6KBE

Sam,

I still believe in the ol saying...the squeeky wheel get's the oil...so
it's good to keep our requests up.
