George, I’m in the same boat. I like digital modes and wanted to be able to watch my ALC and VSWR at the same time. The P3TX Monitor was less expensive than the W2 wattmeter and it kept me from having to add a box to my shack. Except for a few frequencies, I really like it. 73, Joel - W4JBB >

Guys, For me the Transmit Monitor was exactly what I expected when I ordered it. It replaced my bench scope which took-up too much space on my desk and relegated to a corner and integrated the power meter/VSWR into one display. Now my P3 is on a shelf in front of me and in my field of view when

Barry: It is the first Elecraft product I have ever been personally disappointed by. If you already have a good wattmeter, you don't need it. If you don't, the positive thing is that the wattmeter works just fine, and saves you from yet another box to put on your bench. So it does have va

Barry, I have one as I needed a watt meter/swr meter to go in line with my AL-1200 amp/K3-P3 combo. I have another K3-P3 with a KPA-500/KAT-500, I didn't bother with the monitor on this P3 as it's simply not needed as both the KPA-500 and KAT-500 have watt/swr meters. I'm still playing wit

Roy, The short answer is NO. The modulation envelope display is good for displaying any clipping, but it will not show you the frequency response. If you have seen the modulation envelope of an SSB signal on an oscilloscope, that is what you can expect, it shows relative amplitude and any f
