I've owned and used an LP-Pan for a while. I liked it, the software associated with LP-Pan burns a lot of computer resources, and so does my contest logging software. With both running, there's not much left for the computer to send voice messages, etc. And, I had to reorganize my operating desk to find room for a computer monitor for the display. The existing computer screen (a laptop) was already full to overflowing with my contest logging software. When the P3 was introduced, I immediately ordered two, one for each of my K3s that work in an SO2R (single-operator-two-radio) contesting setup. Why did I do that? For the reasons noted above, and because the combined cost of a computer, LP-Pan, and high quality, broadband audio sound card comes pretty close to the cost of a P3 (in kit form). And I would have two extra computer monitors to find room for on my operating desk, which is already full to overflowing. I received the P3s a week or so ago, and am pleased. Took less than an hour to build each of them. I'm also working on a short list of software suggestions for the design team. :) 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
