We're happy with the number and placement of the buttons and switches at this time. This front panel and active matrix display parts of the design (except for the silkscreen button labels, which will be changing a bit) is already final, due to the long lead time on these components. Note that

We already plan to offer a VGA output option. To clarify this a bit, there its is not as simple as connecting a VGA connector to the display. VGA output actually required additional memory and a display procesor dedicated to that output path. WE've thought this through carefully and have

One note on these early P3 pictures. Several people noted in private emails that the absolute dbM range on these screen shots (see email below) implied a high noise floor and that the scale did not go down to the K3s noise floor. The development firmware used for these pictures was an early

Believe me, the usable spectral display is much larger compared to the spectrum displays on other rigs. We use the wole screen for the dislpay, as opposed to rigs like thePRO-III that only use the bottom 1/4 of their displays for the panadapter. I'm a 52 yr old reading glasses kind of guy and

One of the things that can be confusing is a very busy display. I think all that should be highlighted on the panadaptor display is the DSB bandwidth. That is what bandwidth you are receiving, not the crystal filter bandwidth. 73 Dave KD1NA Message from Wayne: However, the P3 will be aware of

The P3 is connected to the K3 at a point ahead of the crystal filters, so when you change crystal filters on the K3, it won't change the P3's displayed waveform. However, the P3 will be aware of the K3's filter bandwidth and offset, so we can show a bracketed or otherwise highlighted area
