[Elecraft] No analog S-meter emulation planned for the P3 at this time

[Wayne Burdick]

An analog S-meter emulation for the P3 is a nice idea that we will add to the wish-list. I'm not how a rumor started that we were adding this in the short term. My apologies if we were misinterpreted.

What *is* true is that we're going to have transmit power and SWR bar graph emulations available for the P3 when used in conjunction with an external RF sensor. There will also be a transmit envelope display (time domain, like an o'scope, in living color).

Meanwhile, note that the P3 is already something of an S-meter on steroids. It reads out directly in dB, with 1-dB resolution, and gives you a history of signal strength (waterfall display) as well as signal strength for potentially dozens of signals simultaneously.
