There are indeed less expensive ways to display the frequency spectrum on your PC screen, including the LP-pan which has received well-deserved praise and acceptance. But many people prefer a self-contained solution, which will be provided by the P3. What is an acceptable price for this is a very individual judgment. What has not been pointed out in the recent flurry of discussion, however, is that the P3 will be more than just a panadapter display. It will provide some additional functions for the K3 which will improve the user ergonomics. Neither I nor any of us outsiders know the extent of this added functionality, but no doubt extra labeled function macro keys at a minimum. I'm inclined to place an order at the official announcement date and then evaluate the new features and user comments prior to the ship date. I expect that the P3 will be a continuously evolving product just like the K3 is.
