[Elecraft] P3 Panadaptor

[George Dubovsky]

Well, it makes unassisted S/P a lot faster; just tune for the next blip.
And, if you have directional antennas, like a NE beverage on 160 or 80, it
helps to pre-qualify some signals as to multiplier possibility.  And it
certainly helps to see how close the interference is when you're running. I
wouldn't contest without it now. But I don't do fone so maybe that colors
my judgement.
