[Elecraft] P3 Ubdate

[David G4DMP]

I agree wholeheartedly with you there, Ian.  It does seem that when a
new product comes out, existing products take a back seat and cease to
be updated. Let's hope that no new products are released before the K3,
KX3, etc have been attended to.

The KX3 has some features that the K3 ought to have. To cite another
example, DTMF keying in FM mode is available on the KX3, but when I use
my K3 to access international repeaters on 2m I need to use a cumbersome
external key pad held close to the microphone. We are told that this is
"on the list" but I wonder what else is on the list awaiting attention.
