[Elecraft] P3 "Point and Click"

[donovanf at starpower.net]

Hi Jimmy, 


I agree, point and click is a desirable feature, and shouldn't be 
difficult to implement via a mouse connected to the P3 USB port. 



Since your option doesn't exist (at least not yet), suggest you try 
my method which actually exists and works very well

Frank, 

You are drinking the cool aide. With the mouse click option you can tune all over the band quickly, sampling all kinds of signals in the time it takes to retune one new station. I complain about this at Dayton every year and am always told it’s not necessary. It’s not necessary any more than the P-3 is necessary but it sure would be a nice feature.

When operating a contest in S&P mode and using the P3 to search for signals, I find the current functionality suboptimal. I have yet SVGA option with a large screen; it would be so much easier to be able to use a mouse and have true "point and click". I wonder if this will ever be a reality. It would make the P3 far more functional.
