Just thinking out loud here -
If the "P3" band-scope were set up to occupy one-half of the width of a cabinet that was otherwise the same size as the K3, then perhaps a future "gift" from Aptos could come in the form of a transmit monitor scope (to monitor a the CW/SSB/AM modulation envelope) that would fill the other half of the enclosure. One of the best options back in the old Heathkit days was to have both the HO-10 and the H0-13 (or their SB series big brothers) sitting side by side. Looked great, and gave useful information to the operator in the form of assurances that the outgoing signal was clean. The "monitor scope" function could also operate during receive so a person could check the "other guy's" signal for flat-topping, under and over modulation, etc. Other options for the "unused" half of the P3 cabinet could include a speaker, a rotor-control / indicator for some of the more popular units, and, as someone already suggested, a small 20 to 30 A switcher that could provide power for the K3 and perhaps a few accessories. Lots of possibilities here. - Jim, KL7CC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
