I have an LP-Pan (and soon to have a K3 for field day/portable use) and I really wonder how I ever managed without it.
I'll put it this way, its like checking traffic conditions by driving down each intersection vs looking down from above via airplane. For contests (especially digital ones) its a huge asset to get a big picture of where all the traffic is. For casual operating its nice to see at a glance what the bands are doing. In short, get one. :) Frank KG6EYC On Fri, Feb 28, 2014 at 10:08 AM, Jim Lowman <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm basically a S&P operator, especially in contests.
