Stan,

I sure wish I had thought of this! I just unplugged my P3 Serial connection.
I then checked my audio after already following some other user transmitter
equalizer suggestions to confirm what I had already done.  Don't need to do
it again, unless I buy another mic ... not likely, as I love the Heil Gold
line 4 and 5 ( I use 5 unless trying to make Euro contacts from the Midwest)
elements.  I no longer invite on-air requests for "how do I sound" any more.
Seems as everyone comes out of the woodwork and the sound only pleases the
ones with the loudest or most aggressive responses.  I want penetration of
signal based on a clean signal based on what I want.  The P3 helps me see my
signal visually.  I have a penetrating signal, not a broadcast signal.

I think the feature is pretty much already there: When you want to monitor
your TX signal, just go into the Config menu and set the RS232 baud rate to
something other than 38400 (which the P3 expects).  Transmit, and voila!,
your signal is visible.  To turn the default behavior back on, just restore
the baud rate to 38400 and exit the Config menu. You could even assign a
menu command to a PF key to accomplish this.

Seems to work here.  Is there any problem with doing this?
