I totally concur.  The P3 is a very valuable tool for any station.  It 
gives a VERY accurate and detailed display of any incoming signal.  "I 
wouldn't be caught without one!"

You left out your most useful piece of test gear that I know about, the
P3, put on steroids by the addition of the SVGA module. Using that
combination, I was able to measure bandwidth of CW, SSB, and RTTY
signals produced by popular ham gear with far greater precision than was
being achieved in the ARRL Lab! And I could make those measurements
looking at signals on the air, not only in my lab. The critical element
was the very narrow resolution bandwidth they provided.

Ten years later, that capability is now widely available in SDR receivers.
