Even more useful in my opinion, the N2QT hardware mod allows you to monitor the activity on another band ... subject of course to the K3 low pass filter considerations. I never understood why Elecraft didn't provide for that capability, or why they've never subsequently offered a mod to do it. It seemed especially odd not to have that feature once the P3 became available.
