Why can't you turn on the VFO B cursor in the P3 menu and use the K3 VFO
B knob to position the VFO B cursor to the signal of interest.
Once there a tap of the A/B button will swap VFOs and you will be tuned
to that signal that used to be pointed at by VFO B - but it is now the
VFO A frequency.
If you have the subRX, you can even listen to the VFO B frequency on the
sub to fine tune it if necessary before tapping the A/B button.
No extra features needed. If using the KPod, one of its buttons can be
programmed to do the A/B button tap, so you don't have to move your hand
away from the KPod.

Myself! Having the ability to click to tune to a signal on the P3
without messing with the P3 front panel knob would be an EXCELLENT aid
for both DXing (especially if you could do it with VFO B) and S&P
contesting.

I'm really interested in the KPad, but specifically for use with the
P3. The
K3/K3S already has a nice knob! I like to use the P3's knob to tune
to a
signal and then push the P3 knob in to set the K3S receiver to that
frequency. Most of the time I can very accurately hit as SSB signal,
if I
turn the P3 knob to the correct side of an SSB signal and simply
assume that
the carrier is at xxx0.0 kHz. But the P3 knob is small and that makes
this
hard to do. I think it would be great if you could do this with the
KPad
knob, and one of the KPad buttons.
But, I called Elecraft and spoke to tech support and they said the KPad
wasn't being programmed to work with the P3, but that this reflector
was a
great place to post feature requests. Do any others want to chime in and
request this feature? Thanks, Bob - W3DK
