Lu, I don't like to discourage list members away from Elecraft products, but I do not know if the P3 will do the task you are asking about - it depends on what other equipment you have to use along with the P3. Yes, the P3 can do the job IF you have the other equipment to run it for your immediate purposes.
I would suggest that you also investigate the "Simple Spectrum Analyzer" by G4AON used in conjunction with Spectrogram or SpectrumLab or other computer based FFT audio spectrum analyzer. You can find information on the resistive tap and the mixer at http://www.astromag.co.uk/ssa/. This is an adaptation of the 40 dB resistive tap from the W7ZOI Power Meter along with a mixer to bring the signal down to baseband where it can be analyzed with an audio FFT spectrum analyzer. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/23/2011 11:08 PM, Luis V.
