[Elecraft] P3 Panadaptor

[Jeff Stai]

I'll echo what everyone has said about using the waterfall. Pretty much
just maximize the area of the waterfall display to the extent the P3 will
let you. Then S&P is a matter of hopping from trace to trace, and you don't
miss the ones you would be missing by tuning past them without the display.
Finding a space is easier too. I like a Span of 10 for RTTY. At that size
you can see plenty of signals and with practice you can even use the P3 as
a tuning aid to tune in the signal when it reappears.  73 jeff wk6i
