I have a K Pod on order and would love to be able to run the P3 with it. Fr that matter, I use the SVGA with the monitor just beside/behind the K3s and I've long wished the knob functions for the P3 could be placed on the OFS knob on the K3s. It would require the P3 encoder replacing the OFS

Why can't you turn on the VFO B cursor in the P3 menu and use the K3 VFO B knob to position the VFO B cursor to the signal of interest. Once there a tap of the A/B button will swap VFOs and you will be tuned to that signal that used to be pointed at by VFO B - but it is now the VFO A frequency.

I asked Wayne about this a few weeks ago when they announced the K-Pod. He said that it would be a firmware tweak. My guess is that he is being modest with that estimate, but this sounds high on the priority list of features. My guess is it may not be there in the initial release (he may

Myself! Having the ability to click to tune to a signal on the P3 without messing with the P3 front panel knob would be an EXCELLENT aid for both DXing (especially if you could do it with VFO B) and S contesting. 73... Randy, W8FN On 5/12/2016 2:36 PM, Bob Novas wrote: I'm really interested

[Elecraft] KPad and P3

2016-05-12 Thread Bob Novas
I'm really interested in the KPad, but specifically for use with the P3. The K3/K3S already has a nice knob! I like to use the P3's knob to tune to a signal and then push the P3 knob in to set the K3S receiver to that frequency. Most of the time I can very accurately hit as SSB signal, if I turn
