And I couldn't give a hoot what is added..more the better..but for me I don't feel I 'would' use the feature so I am neutral on whether it appears or not.
But, sometimes I cop those pesky incoming's and so i keep my flame suit at the ready every time I post a comment. At least I am getting my money's worth :-) Oh, and no I am not being sarcastic or whatever, just highly amused coz I got too much time on my hands. Speaking of using the P3, I placed a single CQ the other night and worked over 100 stations and so would not have used the proposed feature and as I don't get too serious in contests I don't feel I 'need' the feature either. Having said all this, I would not want to see others wanting this feature to miss out. Aaah..nuff bandwidth used my 2 cents worth..ya'all can keep the change :-) 73's back to the pile-up Gary On Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 4:14 AM, Gary Gordon <[email protected]> wrote: > As a new subscriber I didn't want to stir up a hornet's nest, but rather to > express, from my 55 years of contesting, DX'ing, and band surfing, that the > exceptional P3 has a rather glaring need for an optional display anchor. > > 73, Gary, K6KV > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tommy Alderman > Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2010 7:44 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Lock P3 frequency range independent of K3 > > I think you are speaking for yourself again?
