No. We have another engineer working on the P3, not myself or Lyle.

The very small font size shown in the photos was used because it was
readily available at the time the hamfest demo firmware was being
written. While using the P3, however, it became clear to me that I was
having to work too hard to read the text. And I'm only 51 :)
