Terry - Thanks for your long and educational email.
I have used my P3 with a short wire antenna for environmental RF
noise location. It seems to work well, although the tuning UI
was not designed with that application in mind. :-)
Walking around with it, a separate battery, and antenna is a bit
of a PITA however. CCing Rose to see if she has a solution.
Cheers - Bill, AE6JV/1

I... BTW, the Elecraft P3 IS A DDC RECEIVER, with a 14-bit ADC,
sampling at about 60Ms/s, and feeding an ASIC DDC chip, then a
dsPIC chip for FFT and other DSP work. Yes, it samples the
8.215MHz IF from the K3, but as Elecraft states, it can be used
on other radios as well. It does take advantage of the K3's RF
front end, including preamps, filtering, etc. I would NOT hook
an antenna directly to it!
