Hello Jim,

I like using the P3 to analyze incoming RFI. I was able to figure out 
what the interference was by utilizing the P3.  It is also neat for 
setting up audio equalization on SSB signals. So many signals have a 
very pronounced high frequency roll-off that reduces intelligibility at 
low signal levels. The P3 will pick that up so easily. You are right, it 
is a very handy piece of test gear.
