And as we compare the P3 to a Softrock or LP-Pan, there are some other issues to consider. Unlike man, all soundcards are not created equal. I have a Presonus Firebox external soundcard that I use for recording. It is 96kHz/24 bit. It is not a card recommended by Larry, and for good reason. It h

I was at HamCation and thought that the P3 display was very sharp and crisp. Nowhere have I seen what the resolution of the P3 display is. Lest anyone get too hung up on display size, let us remember that display size and resolution are two different things. Unless you increase the resolution

The P3's display is extremely sharp and is quite bright. It is much easier to read than many other rigs that have internal displays. There were a number of video artifacts in that video that are not present on the P3's display. 73, Eric WA6HHQ _..._ Radio Amateur N5GE wrote: > On Sun, 21 F

Bob, Have you seen the P3 in person? You seem to know a lot about it. I'm not aware of any official published specs that define how much current draw it requires or anything else. The point I was trying to make in my post was that this guy saw it in person and expressed his opinion. Why does th

Those comments on the blog were over the top in my view. I wouldn't say something like "Your blog is a joke". That would be somewhat rude. The fact is, the P3 isn't trying to compete with a 22" monitor. It is a portable and easy solution. I don't think I would drag my desktop, LP-PAN, and Firebox

I think some of you guys are really over reacting to the comment made in the link that was referenced. I read the blog and did not even see the K3 mentioned. It did say:  "Elecraft had their little answer to the pan adapter, what a joke. It was a little screen maybe 9" and made the radio look l

Let's be reasonable though - the Flex is not a piece of junk just because it's in second place on the Sherwood list. There's a whole lot of good radios behind the two of them further down the list. I think this W9OY, because of his obvious pro-Flex bias, should be given the same respect as W2O
