[Elecraft] P3 Pre-purchase questions

[Fred Jensen]

There is an option for all P3's to feed the video to a large monitor. 
It's called SVGA and may provide a keyboard connection as well. 
Recently, a TX power monitor option was announced.  I don't have either.

I bought my P3 primarily as a "toy," I thought it would be cool to be 
able to see where the activity was every now and then.  It's about as 
far from a toy as you can get now ... it's what I look at all the time. 
Spotting the where the guy is that the DX just called is easy, as is 
discerning which direction the DX is tuning.

Sadly, it does not work when I'm operating W7RN remotely since stringing 
60 or km of RG-58 from the IF output at the station to my P3 is sort of 
a non-starter. :-))
