Re: [Elecraft] P3 - Will it be able to monitor K3 output
I think it's more a question of "when" than "whether," although I've heard no promises so far. The list of suggested extra functions for the P3 is longer than the current spec! I expect the P3 to be a continuing source of delight for many years as it evolves from a simple but very slick panadapter/waterfall display into a rich platform for station control and monitoring. The empty but tantalizingly labeled holes on the rear panel, the vast, empty spaces inside the box and the fertile imaginations of the Elecraft team and their users are all strong indicators of a bright future for the P3. Right now it's decidedly cool. I look forward to "awesome." But don't wait! Elecraft's reputation for protecting customers' investments with backward-compatible, field-installable enhancements is legendary. /Rick N6XI On 8/5/10, David Wilburn wrote: > > Will the P3 (at some point) be able to monitor / display the output of > the K3 (or any other radio)?

Re: [Elecraft] P3 - Will it be able to monitor K3 output
I am waiting for this feature to be announced before I order a P3. I don't mind the wait but until it is announced that it will be made available then I feel I have limited application for a P3 given my type of operation. >From what I am reading though the P3 certainly looks like a valued accessory.

The rear panel would certainly indicate that possibility if the hole marked "sensor" is any indication. 73, ...

Re: [Elecraft] P3 - Will it be able to monitor K3 output
Dave: One of the suggestions (mine) for 'additional features' was to allow the P3 to function as a transmitted waveform monitor (a la SM-220/SM-230, and others). I'm hoping that the blank hole on the back of the P3 case (labeled 'SENSOR') will eventually bring to us that feature. Not sure we'll be able to monitor OUR transmitted bandwidth, but it'd sure be very handy to be able to monitor our transmitted waveform. Having had a monitor scope for 40+ years (starting with a Heathkit HO-10), I cannot imagine operating my station WITHOUT a monitor scope in-line... they've saved my bacon several times in years past... I wouldn't be without one. 73, Tom Hammond N0SS K3/P3 Field Tester.

[Elecraft] P3 - Will it be able to monitor K3 output
Will the P3 (at some point) be able to monitor / display the output of the K3 (or any other radio)? Such as a band scope to check modulation levels or transmit frequency.
