[Elecraft] Mouse and P3 SVGA

[George Thornton]

I have tried other computer based panadapters and I now have the P3 with SVGA.

I found that mediating through a computer using a sound card creates configuration issues and results in occasional operating headaches.

By contrast, the P3 is specialized hardware and connection is more reliable and consistent.  I spend less time fussing with equipment to make sure it is set up correctly, and more time actually working with the spectrum images on the screen.

I have not used a full SDR radio.

I did find clicking with a mouse to change frequencies was helpful, but the convenience and reliability of the P3 to me far outweighed computer based panadapter solutions overall.

I also appreciate the options available for the P3.  I use the SVGA feature and a monitor to enhance audience viewing at my Field Day station.  The TX monitor has also been useful in viewing and diagnosing transmission signals as well as better visualizing SWR and power output measurements.
