As long as we're on the "shrinking" of the P3 subject. I would always have preferred a P3/VGA only! That is, one as small as possible with the ability to drive and external monitor but containing NO display itself. I hardly EVER look at the P3, unless it's to set a parameter. I have an old 15" leftover PC monitor that it just perfect for the outboard display. I find that it's my go-to set-up since it's up and running in a second with just two button pushes. (K3 and monitor).

Hi All,

That modified (cut down) version of the P3 by WA6KBL is quite intriguing. Someone else has suggested that doing this could cause some interference action with the display, which is too bad if it is true. It seems to me that, since the PX3 works fine in a smaller enclosure, why wouldn't the P3 work O.K. as well? Personally, I wish the P3 had less bulk, particularly since it seems excessive and clumsy. I know the P3's dimensions were determined, at least in part, to correlate to the K3's dimensions. However, so much wasted space would be nice to eliminate if possible.
