P3, as far as I know, does not let you open a receiver at anyplace in the bandpass. Actually 2, so with internal receivers and 2 software I can monitor 4 freq if I want using LP. Then there is the display issue. If you want bigger display on P3 you have to dedicate a monitor to it alone. With LP I just open a window on my 40" 4K monitor without adding a whole new display.
