[Elecraft] Rotten Signals

[Mark Petiford]

Ok, great idea, guys.  So, Elecraft, will the recently announced PX3 have provisions to add this capability like the P3 does?If so, I want one!

It is less than a week old and we already want more!!! ;-)

Gary,The "Sensor": input on the rear of th P3 is there for thatpurpose....however, the device has not been announced by Elecraft to datedespite repeated requests.....I too really do want to be able to monitor my TX signal, one of thedisadvantages I have is that I operate "Portable" from my Motorhome 24/7and as you can imagine, this constant changing of the station setup leadsto mistakes or oopsies when setting up..:-)I also beg Elecraft to listen to our pleas....73GaryOn 10 April 2014 09:19, Gary Ferdinand <alaparos at taconic.net> wrote:> Dear Elecraft,>> We are in critical need of a device that will allow us to monitor our> *actual* transmitted signal.
