[Elecraft] P3 with TX Monitor up and running

[Jobst Vandrey]

Phil

The current production release code for the P3 is over a year old - the
Txmonitor function hardware was introduced at Dayton this year and the
first units did not ship till about a week ago so the firmware has not yet
caught up to current.  I suspect that between Dayton and version 1.50 of
the Beta code last week, there were a number of changes made to improve the
code based on tester feedback.  Example - at Dayton, the FAQ indicated that
the monitor function would only work with the K3 but the latest FAQ says it
will work with an transceiver.

With my limited experience so far, the firmware does appear very stable
even if it is still classified officially as Beta. I will continue to use
the system and migrate to new versions of firmware as it becomes available
just as I have done with the K3.

Just my $0.02
