[Elecraft] P3 vs. other panadapter options

[David Gilbert]

Even if you add in the cost of a computer and a top notch sound card 
you're still about half the cost of the P3 set.  You can buy a pretty 
powerful refurbished computer for less than $300, and a monitor for less 
than $100.

Also, try running CW Skimmer or any third party SDR software (current or 
future) on a P3.
