But there is no real advantage in Elecraft bringing out a "me too" version of the LP-Pan or SDR-IQ. By making the P3 a standalone product they are providing an alternative that is likely to be appealing for the same reasons people chose a K3 over a Flex Radio. I do agree it could be useful to bring out the I/Q signals from the panadapter so they could be used by external software but for all any of us knows it may have that capability. If it doesn't then now is the opportunity to let Elecraft know that it should have it. ----- Julian, G4ILO.
