As is its a real useful item I would NOT be without BUT it could be better and the external sensor and the corresponding ability to monitor ones signals would be a great asset. I follow the N8LP site and I note beta copies of the LP500 are soon to be shipped - must say it looks very tasty

Most of LP500 information is for personal interest, with little help for DXing or contesting. Also extra cables needed, e.g., for trapezoid display. P3 does one thing well. Extras would cost hardware and software. I would say LP100 and P3 serve different markets. Also nowadays, often software

P3 is a fine product as it is -- hardly unfinished as you more than suggest. If you need more than it offers, you have found other option. 73, Phil W7OX On 12/5/14 5:45 AM, ANDY NEHAN wrote: As is its a real useful item I would NOT be without BUT it could be better and the external sensor

I must be simple - as the P3 satisfies my needs and operates as advertised. Operating as advertised is important - many rigs cannot really do that (watch the wording in the advertising as a gotcha). Of course a few enhancements - such as a turkey roasting timer, remote lawn mower control, and
