Those comments on the blog were over the top in my view. I wouldn't say something like "Your blog is a joke". That would be somewhat rude. The fact is, the P3 isn't trying to compete with a 22" monitor. It is a portable and easy solution. I don't think I would drag my desktop, LP-PAN, and Firebox audio interface into the woods, just for that nice 22" HD screen. Even if I did, there would be a power supply issue.
Does the P3 do the job? Yes. Is it small and ready to go portable? Yes again. Do I need it for my home station, when I already have an LP-Pan, Firebox, and 22" monitor. NO. Is it the best panadapter solution for working portable with minimum current consumption and interface cables? YES. The P3 is hardly a joke. It is a product with a specific purpose, and it fills a void that nothing else fills. I think I will start a blog that compares watching movies on my Asus netbook's 11" LCD, to my 60" Sony. The netbook is a joke, and the display is horrible. But it does fit in my Jeep, and runs for 9 hours on the internal battery. :>) Elecraft will sell a lot of P3 units, not because it is the cheapest or best for a home station, but because it is best for portable. Isn't portable a big factor in all Elecraft products? But don't listen to me, as I have Begali keys. I don't need them, but I sure do like them. :>) <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I think some of you guys are really over reacting to the comment made in the link that was referenced. I read the blog and did not even see the K3 mentioned. It did say: "Elecraft had their little answer to the pan adapter, what a joke. It was a little screen maybe 9" and made the radio look like a toy. The quality of the display was horrible." >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/W9OY-comments-about-K3-tp4598096p4600768.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
