Hi Phil, Your preaching to the choir mate...:-)
I think the P3 remote sensor has probably been shelved as I have asked several times directly and never even got a reply so my assumption is this device has been placed in the too hard basket and perhaps Elecraft see it as a limited return on investment? Your hub idea would be a great addition for me, I too would "want one"..... Keep up the squeaking mate, it hopefully will get some oil..:-) 73 Gary On 26 April 2014 01:38, Phil Hystad <[email protected]> wrote: > Before work begins on the K4, I would like to see (after, this is a wish > list right?): > > 1.
