Jim,

I am competitive mainly when I go on expeditions and operate from semi rare countries like 8Q7 or 6V7 or CT3. Finding clear run frequency from there is not a problem. On the other hand carrying extra box and using big screen there is a problem. Therefore P3 for me is not justifiable expense so far.

When at home I mainly operate from friend's station which is equipped with pair of K3s and pair of P3 but again P3s have pretty limited use due to some other reasons.

Igor,

While it's a nice idea, it may or may not be possible to implement. BUT -- we're both pretty active contesters, and I wouldn't dream of working a contest without one. The SVGA card makes it even more useful -- the waterfall can be set to provide 2 minutes on screen, which really helps when trying to find a run frequency. You can look at the patterns to see which frequencies have someone running, and even when skip doesn't let you see the run station, you often see his callers. A waterfall tweaked for lots of averaging is great for finding weak signals on a band that is barely open. And a P3 is great for chasing down sources of RX noise.
