[Elecraft] (Mini)P3 v SubRX

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

As long as we're on the "shrinking" of the P3 subject.  I would always have 
preferred a P3/VGA only!  That is, one as small as possible with the ability 
to drive and external monitor but containing NO display itself.   I hardly 
EVER look at the P3, unless it's to set a parameter.  I have an old 15" 
leftover PC monitor that it just perfect for the outboard display.  I find 
that it's my go-to set-up since it's up and running in a second with just 
two button pushes. (K3 and monitor).

73, Charlie k3ICH
