I have also found that my S&P productivity has improved dramatically using the P3 both on CW and RTTY. It's a big advantage when tuning up or down the band to be able to see what is happening ahead of you.
On RTTY I will usually line up the marker on the next signal and jump to it with the tap=QSY on the P3. I use the 5 kz span without the waterfall. With a little practice, no manual fine tuning is necessary. I seldom have to touch the main VFO on the K3 while I S&P in that mode. I wish I could do that with a mouse (hint). On CW the P3 together with the second RX allows me to find and ID stations before I get to them. It has always cost me points in contests because I am lazy and prefer to RUN but now I'm getting much better rates from S&P and that encourages me to do it more. When I'm looking for a RUN frequency, if there is one, the P3 helps me find it. My eyes are on the P3 almost all the time when I'm operating. 73, -Robby VY2SS -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/New-to-Me-P3-Benefit-tp6092963p6094416.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
