I never had a P3, but used an SDR-IQ running SpectraVue software as an
alternative. Of course it requires a computer but if you're logging on one
already port sharing works fine.
SpectraVue "knows" the Elecraft frequency conversion and offers perfect
tracking, demodulation (if you want it and can stand the latency) and
point-n-click tuning. My K3S is now semi-retired and the main rig is a TS-890
with a built-in display which is adequate, but the SDR-IQ still has better
resolution and the other features mentioned above, (I couldn't wait any longer
for a K4)

I realize many of us are scavenging for K3 related stuff but long story short
I’m looking for a working P3 either with or without the VGA option.
I also realize that Elecraft has an interest list but just not sure what
timeframe (post 2021?) a P3 will be available.
In 2019, I spent a fair amount of time building a LP SO2R SSB station using 2
sets of KX3/KX3/KXPA100 but have since moved on from that and trying a QRO
approach based around my K3s.
