Hi Steve, A lot of money hi ! As the P3's IF should be software defined, i could use it with an other rig, where an IF output is installed or a modification easily feasible. I've connected the PR6 on my K3, and RX have done some comparisons with my "old" FT857 WITHOUT preamp sharing the same antenna and including the splitter losses; results are not so good... On all other bands, i'm 100% satisfied with my K3 (#1212) and would never change! I will look for a 6/2/0.7m TXRX may be with a pre-installed IF compatible with the P3.
