Lee, come down to Park City and operate with me in a contest or chasing DX. I would NOT be without the P3 as I can find the weak signals in amongst the big gun contesters that I swear are running over the legal limit. With the K3's selectivity, I can even work someone with an S3 signal within a half KHz of K0PY when he's calling CQ and running the Alpha 9500 full bore. (He only lives a couple blocks from me). The P3 enables me to see that weak signal. Also, when a DX station is working split, I can see where the pileup is without having to hunt for it. It's pretty easy to find the last station the DX worked, put the VFO B cursor right on that frequency and unless propagation is really bad, it normally never takes more than a couple calls to bag 'em.
The P3 is one of those items that you can do without unless you've ever used one. After that the priorities change drastically. Jim - W0EB > > I am very interested in the P3 to add to my K3.
