[Elecraft] P3 Transmit Monitoring Feature

[Alan Bloom]

The SVGA option is not required for the TX monitor feature.  It does 
require a small option board which fills one of the unused holes on the 
P3 back panel and an external power sensor similar to a W2 wattmeter 
sensor.  The only difference from a standard W2 sensor is several 
capacitors have a smaller value to improve the bandwidth for the 
modulation envelope display.

The new firmware to support the sensor is pretty far along.  The main 
thing we're working on right now is the aesthetics of the "meter" 
displays that show the PEP/average power and SWR.
