I'm planning on getting a K3s and am wondering about panadapters. There's obviously the P3, but there are also the computer-based I new like the lp-pan, or using an sdr. I kind of like having one less box on the desk - there'll be a computer there no matter what. How's the quality of these

Re: [Elecraft] P3 vs. other panadapter options

Juliean, IMHO the quality is comparable between P3/SVGA and LP-PAN/NaP3. Here's an image from an LP-PAN/NaP3 panadapter that I used a while back on an Orion: http://www.tentecwiki.org/lib/exe/fetch.php?cache==orionpan3.jpg The big issue is whether you want to deal with the computer interface side

Re: [Elecraft] P3 vs. other panadapter options

I've had both over the past 8 years with the K3: Computer bases system advantages: 1. Cheaper. $300 - $500 2. Better resolution potential but depends on which SDR or sound card you choose. 3. Point and click with mouse 4. Band changing from screen Computer based disadvantages: 1. Cabling

Re: [Elecraft] P3 vs. other panadapter options

I tried the LP-Pan once. It was OK but became two boxes by the time I had a decent external soundcard. I detested the then available PowerSDR software. Probably better now, but I use an SDR-IQ and SpectraVue* software. Interfaces perfectly with the K3/K3S. Gives both a spectrum and

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Turn on Blinding Flash

I have been mulling this over since I saw the initial post. I keep coming back to the description as a "blinding flash", and "like a flash cube". When my P3 first comes on, there is a moment when the entire screen lights up, but the intensity appears to be exactly the same as the normal

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Turn On Flash

Hello, I have also experienced the turn on flash on my PX3. Now that some others have posted about it on the P3, I will note that I find it just a tad annoying, and I prefer to look away from the screen when I turn on the PX3. I do not know if anything is being overstressed (I'm not familiar

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Turn On Flash

>From my research: I believe all of these LED/LCD displays run the LED back-light at full blast continuously. The LCD blocks the light per the video data however on the P3, the LED back-light comes on before the LCD has time to block it...Thus the flash effect. It probably won't hurt anything but

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Turn On Flash

don't find it bright enough to be annoying at all. It certainly hasn't hurt the P3 in 5 years of daily operation though. Jim - W0EB -- Original Message -- From: "Ed G" <ed.n...@gmail.com> To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: 12/24/2015 8:17:28 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft]

[Elecraft] P3 programmer's manual

[Elecraft] P3 Turn on Blinding Flash

Just wondering: My P3's 12v DC comes from the K3. First I turn on my power supply then the K3. The P3 comes on automatically as per the setting. When the P3 comes on, the LCD display is like a flash cube! BRIGHT. Then it dims down to my normally low brightness setting. To me it seems like this

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Turn on Blinding Flash

Good enough. I'm not going to worry about it. It's just that most things like TVs etc. don't do that and you'd think such a surge wouldn't be healthy. 73 to all. Steve N4LQ On Wed, Dec 23, 2015 at 6:21 PM, W5RDW wrote: > Mine has done that since day one. I never gave it

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Turn on Blinding Flash

The display uses an LED backlight so nothing is being stressed. 73, Ron AC7AC -Original Message- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Steve Ellington Sent: Wednesday, December 23, 2015 11:24 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] P3 Turn

[Elecraft] P3: how to save configuration setting?

Please advise how to save the "Set Display Brightness" setting. According the Manual you simply select the brightness setting you want by rotating the Select dial, tap the Select knob to exit the function, and Tap Menu again to exit the Menu. But that sequence doesn't save the Brightness
