[Elecraft] P3 Ubdate

[Don Wilhelm]

There is a big difference between "That could possibly be done" and 
"Yes, we will include it at some later time" and "We have committed 
resources to bring it into production in a timely manner".

AFAIK, the P3 now has all the features and functions that are mentioned 
in the advertizing and descriptions of its capabilities.

The fact that added functions have been mentioned on this reflector, but 
have not made it into the product advertizements and specifications does 
not mean that the P3 is "incomplete".

Anyone who purchased a P3 based on anything in excess of the functions 
advertized at the time of purchase should not be disappointed when 
additional functions are talked about but are not yet reality.

A parallel example is my requests that the K2/K3/KX3 keying include 
Ultimatic mode.  I have been told in the past that it is being 
considered, but it has not yet materialized.  I do not think of that as 
making the K3 internal keyer "incomplete" - only that other things need 
attention from the limited Elecraft engineering staff than my request 
for Ultimatic keying.

Being able to scroll up and down the monitor like MMTTY with a time stamp would make the P3 much more useful for digital modes. Being able to monitor output signal would be awesome. There were a lot of promises made for the P3 in the past and I'm hopeful that Elecraft will be able to complete the project. It's always a good idea to improve a product and Elecraft has been good about that in the past. If Elecraft could improve the functionality of the P3 I would for one be willing to pay for the update. 73
