[Elecraft] P3 - unfinished product

[Kevin Stover]

I am continuously amazed by the amount of "stuff" people want to add to 
Elecraft products, in this case the P3, that are done BETTER and CHEAPER 
by other things.

Want to monitor your output waveform...buy a used oscilloscope and spend 
$10 for the parts to build a sampler. Better yet buy one of the 
inexpensive  dual channel 100MHz Rigol O-scopes for less than $400 and 
you've got an output monitor AND an O-scope.

How about we just add an solid state drive and Intel i3 processor with 
appropriate motherboard with really good on board sound chip (oxymoron?) 
running Windows 10 to the P3 and you could replace your shack 
computer...kinda...sorta.... Of course the cost of all this convenience 
will triple or quadruple the price of the P3... Of course Elecraft would 
have to add a couple dozen personnel for the inevitable "help 
desk"...but it will have a real good "gee whiz" factor.
