Hi Bill, I have the Sub RX and have found it to be something that I occasionally use. If I operate an hour or two a day, I might use it continuously one day and then not at all for the next three days. But I love it and would not want to ever be without it.
I haven't yet ordered a P3 but can see how it would be something that I would use 100% of the time. And it would be fun to own during this early stage as firmware upgrades add new capabilities. So my vote would be to get the P3 first. Also by your serial number I can see that you are a new K3 owner. Write down the filters you think you would get with your Sub Rx. There's a very good chance you will actually order different filters when the time comes. 73, Mike K2MK Bill Myers wrote: > > I need some advice about my next upgrade.
