Don't hold your breath waiting for that. I lobbied long and hard for that capability (buffered IQ outputs) from the very beginning ... starting back when Elecraft first announced they would be introducing the P3. They obviously didn't include it, though, and in spite of several public and private queries from me regarding the reason for that omission I never got a single answer. The lack of IQ outputs is the single biggest reason why I will not buy a P3 (the other reason is that there is no capability to display the 2nd receiver even if I hardware hack the K3 to bring out the 2nd IF). Anyone who wants to run CW Skimmer or any other third party SDR software will have to buy another piece of hardware to do it, when the P3 could have easily provided that capability.
