I was going to ask the same question as David about whether you were interested in the P3 or the PX3!


And assuming you were talking about the P3, my experience is the same as his....a really good investment. As a for instance (although this hasn't happened yet as the event isn't until June), in our (CW) Field Day - which has rules very different from the North AmericanField Day - we get double points for QSOs on 160m & 10m. I can foresee that the ability to take a quick dive onto those bands and get an" at a glance" view of whether there is enough activity to justify a band change will be a major boon.

not sure if you mean P3 or PX3

I purchased the P3 about a year ago.     when I ordered it I was worried 
I had spent money on something that had marginal purpose, a toy or fancy 
Gadget.

Now that I have had it for a year or so it has become a integral part of 
my operating.  its wonderfull in chasing DX and contests for finding 
signals especially on quiet bands.     is a band open?  just watch the 
water fall for a half a minute and you can see.   never mind hunting up 
and down the band to see what may be there.       find the station being 
worked in a split situation is easy.    I can go on and on.    For me I 
feel it was money well spent.   I certainly get more use out of it than 
I had hoped for.
