Hi Bill The most logical next step would be transmit monitoring.
I would like to see the facility for 2 directional couplers. One at the output of the K3 and one at the output of the amp. It would also be nice if you could have IN and OUT for these directional couplers so that you could use it for scope monitoring or for inserting crystal notch filters inline for serious IMD monitoring of your amp. How far the P3 evolves into test instrument or a toy accessory, is really up to Elecraft. The P3 has sufficient performance to be a test instrument rather than being just a toy bandscope. The review in QST alludes to this possibility. Telepost's new LP500 is where the P3 should be heading. However we will just have to wait and see what comes out from the end of the P3 engineering pipeline. My vote is for TX Monitoring and spectrum analyzer features. A tracking generator would be nice for homebrewers as well. 73 John --- On Wed, 2/23/11, Bill <able2...@aol.com> wrote: > From: Bill <able2...@aol.com> > Subject: [Elecraft] P3, what lies ahead? > To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net > Date: Wednesday, February 23, 2011, 2:13 PM > > Has anyone figured out the possible purpose of those unused > holes in the P3 backpanel? > > One of them labeled "sensor" ??? > > 73, K3UJ > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
