Although the P3 product is still in development, it looks like a very attractive and functional matching accessory for the K3. A few questions:
- What is the typical MDS seen on the display? - Is a low-noise, unity-gain buffer w/ BPF utilized at the I.F. input? - Assuming it's powered from the K3 or alternate +12VDC source, what is the measured amount of current (thinking ahead for portable operation)? - Any photos of the tentative back panel available? Although I probably would have opted for a stand-alone "black box" device (and hoping that may be an alternate version one day), I can see the marketing logic where a large number of potential purchasers are looking for a transceiver with a built-in panadapter. Even though the P3 is a stand-alone unit, it appears to be well-integrated with the K3 to give it a "built-in" look and feel. This should put the K3 in the running for buyers who would otherwise purchase the K3 but for the fact that it lacks a built-in panadapter.
