[Elecraft] [Elecraft_K3] P3 beta software with noise blanker

[Vic Rosenthal K2VCO]

Very interesting. I didn't have a lot of noise to try it with (my 
antennas have been taken down in preparation for a move, so I just stuck 
a wire in the K3 antenna jack), but I think it's going to be a help.

Two things that would make this more useful:

1) SVGA support
2) Have it turn on automatically with the K3 NB
