[Elecraft] When might there be a P3 sale or drop in price

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Yes, but the P3 plays so well with the K3 or K3S.  I know it is an 
investment, but I spent the bucks for the K3S, the P2, the KPA500 and 
the KAT500.   There IS NOTHING finer and of better performance.   The 
system integrates so well and smoothly it is thought of as one has a 500 
watt transceiver covering 160M through 6M.

I added my Down East Microwave transverter from my old EME station and 
now have 2M capability.  This required only 3 cables between my K3S and 
DEM 144-28 transverter.     Again, just punch in the frequency and 
listen and talk.   And the P3 shows what I want to see on the band and 
allows me to see a signal and its artifacts.   You'd be surprised at the 
signals which have excessive opposite sideband noise and CW signals with 
clicks.

I have and have used a RSP1a with HDSDR software for point and click.  
Nice, a challenge to configure, but does work nice.  The downside it 
requires a separate computer to support the operation.   The upside it 
the software is FREE and the RSP1a receiver sells in the area of $150 or 
so.
