Back in November, I made a trip to St. Croix for CQWW CW (NP2X). K5KG had brought along his K3/P3 combo for use as the multiplier station. I really liked the utility afforded by the P3 when hunting mults.
I just returned from my VP2MLL operation this past weekend. There is no doubt in my mind now that a P3 would have helped immensely as I changed from band to band and with what little S&P I did. Shrink it down and make it more friendly to carry for DXpedition and contest use. 73 charlie, k1xx On 3/11/2015 12:17 AM, Andy Faber wrote: > Chris, > As the owner of the subject shrunken P3, I can testify that there are > no adverse effects on performance.
