[Elecraft] P3 v SubRX

[Eric Ross]

I am in full agreement.  I feel blind without my P3.  At a glance I can
tell if the band is active or not.  For example, last weekend with the
DX contest and the wide open 20m, the scope was almost solid in certain
spectrums.

I find that I use the subRX if I am getting bored on the 75m net and
want someone else to listen to.  I also find it useful for tuning in the
"+5" ahead of time before leaving the net with someone and making sure
that it is available.  I am not set up with a separate Rx antenna so I
can't comment on how useful diversity Rx is.

Bottom line, if I have to choose only one, I would choose the P3.

Eric, WB7SDE
