[Elecraft] comparing P3, LP-Pan, SDRPlay, others?

[brian]

Premise: It is more enjoyable working them than not-- the quicker the 
better.

Let's face it DXing is a competitive undertaking.  Besides power and 
antenna dB's, there is another "space race" war going on.

Technology has equipped many station with panadapters of some sort.
They have proved so useful that those without them are at a huge 
disadvantage.

So to stay even with the crowd, one almost has to have one.

DXpeditions have been impacted negatively.  They can't listen on the 
same frequency for more than one or two QSO's.  That frequency becomes a 
wall of unreadable stations.  Thus they move their receive frequency 
between QSO's.  Finding that pattern is really hard without a 
panadapter.

Don't shoot the messenger.

After using the P3 for close to six years, I would never even consider a radio without something  with that functionality. Still thinking about it? Hello, just don’t think anymore. Just use the plastic and enjoy ham radio again!

I realize I am probably trying to compare apples to oranges but how do these stack up against each other? Can anything  besides the P3 be used to point and click for QSY? I think the P3 lends itself to my rudimentary comfort level with computers but I do have good tech support in my wife. That said, fire away....
