I never had a P3, but used an SDR-IQ running SpectraVue software as an 
alternative.  Of course it requires a computer but if you're logging on one 
already port sharing works fine.

SpectraVue "knows" the Elecraft frequency conversion and offers perfect 
tracking, demodulation (if you want it and can stand the latency) and 
point-n-click tuning. My K3S is now semi-retired and the main rig is a TS-890 
with a built-in display which is adequate, but the SDR-IQ still has better 
resolution and the other features mentioned above,  (I couldn't wait any longer 
for a K4)
