You had it set to an average of 3 in the video but you also turned it down to real time and yes it is amply fast... Its not as fast as the 80 and 120,000 dollar spectrum analyzers I use at work often but its quite an impressive little gem.
I'd LOVE to have one by Field Day! I'm a HUGE fan of FD and I've sold people on many a K3 at the FD's I've headed out to... This year I'm looking at getting a quick field deployable mast setup (http://www.blueskymast.com) and a K4KIO hex beam setup! Should be a blast... Here's hoping April or May brings the P3 (and I can get in the door early enough to get one by June)... Thanks for the show Eric! ~Brett (KC7OTG) On Sun, 2010-02-14 at 21:02 -0800, Eric Swartz -WA6HHQ, Elecraft wrote: > The display artifact that was visible when I adjust the marker is not > something that will be present on the released P3.
