Joe, W4TV And you get another pretty good general coverage receiver out of the deal. With as much "stuff" that people want added to the P3, IMHO trying to turn it into a computer replacement, everybody needs to keep in mind that no matter what they add to the P3 hardware wise, and yes to drive something like a regular outboard monitor they are going to have to add hardware, folks would be better off going down to the big box store and buying a dedicated laptop for $350. The laptop gets you waaaay more processing power and flexibility than the P3 will EVER have and costs half as much. Yes, you're going to have to have an LP-Pan or SDR-IQ but by the time Elecraft gets done adding hardware/software to turn the P3 into a quasi-computer you're still ahead on performance and price. -- R.
