Having been playing around with the P3 for the first time, can I suggest a 
future feature please. Whilst the built in display is very nice, it would be 
helpful if it were possible to get the spectrum data in a PC in realtime (ish). 
There are a couple of applications for this but the main one is to integrate 
the waterfall/spectrum with DX spots. At the moment I run N1MM+ for VHF 
contesting. My station is optimised for Search and Pounce (S&P). I have an IF 
tap into my K2 and use a soft rock plus USB sound card to get a waterfall band 
map using Waterfall Bandmap(WBM).  WBM integrates with N1MM+ and shows cluster 
spots/stations I have worked) along the frequency axis. Hence if I see signals 
in the waterfall I can quickly see if I have worked/need them. 

N1MM+ has also introduced a similar spectrum display but that only works with 
the IC7300 or with WBM.  Hence it would be really great if the P3 could offer a 
data stream out. It would be something for that spare USB connector on the back 
panel of the SVGA option - although I appreciate that it would need new 
hardware. 

Just a thought
