[Elecraft] New P3 "meters"

[Amateur Radio Operator N5GE]

The Yaesu FTdx1200 that I bought for MARS use allows viewing the S
meter both ways.  I bought it for MARS so I could communicate on the
entire MARS spectrum.

I still have both of my K3's, which I use for Amateur band operation
and yes I still think they are better than anything I have ever used.

The new capabilities of the P3 sound promising.

Now it will be like my earlier radio/audio days with these bouncing needle analogue displays to watch!  I am sure this feature will be worth whatever small wait we might have to endure.
