There have been many very good suggestions for P3 options. For me it boils down to simple use during normal operations.
Normal operations may be meeting friends, DXing, or contesting. If you are meeting up with friends, someone may ask you to look at their signal. You have lots of time to fiddle with buttons. But if you are DXing or contesting, you must focus on the moment. The last thing you want to do is tweak buttons. Therefore you want a limited setup of preferred options that minimize the need for your attention during the event. I've never used a panadaptor so I have concerns about what features are best suited for the event and how to apply them. A. Contesting has made Ham radio a new hobby for me. I could use the P3 to check if a band is open. For CQing, I would like to know where the least amount of QRM & QRN is located. For S&P I need to know when the strong new signals present themselves. I also would like to know if a nearby signal might be wiping me out. B. I'm not a DXer but I can imagine that a very narrow BW would be handy to see if the DX station was favoring a particular response frequency or to visualize the clearest point in response time. I'm sure you all have many great P3 operating ideas and I sincerely hope you will post them for all Elecraft users to share. Have fun. 73, Fred AE6IC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
