Re: [Elecraft] Some P3 Details
Hi Bruce, Thanks for the kind words. :-) At this point all we're saying is before the end of this year, which is coming t us pretty fast! I'll have more details as we progress. 73, Eric WA6HHQ Elecraft Bruce McLaughlin wrote: > Once again, I think you folks have a real winner.

Re: [Elecraft] Some P3 Details
Once again, I think you folks have a real winner. I am definitely going to watch the reflector and when the new unit is available I will pounce. It looks like it will have all of the features I have been looking for. Do you have any estimate yet as to when it might be available?

Re: [Elecraft] Some P3 Details
Let me see if I can help... A panadapter is a lot like a piece of professional equipment called a spectrum analyzer. If you are so inclined you can read about spectrum analyzers too but what it gives you is a plot of amplitude vs frequency. Most often in a panadapter the center frequency is the frequency that your radio is on and the graph provides you information about what is going on in the radio spectrum around you. So you can literally see that there is another CW contact going on just below you or you can tune into the SSB portion of the band and literally see the contacts going on then simply put a curson on a particular peak and poof you're instantly tuned and listening to that station. This becomes handy if you're on a quiet band as you can look at the panadapter and get an instant snap shot of whats going on on the whole band at once with out dialing around. And during a contest it can help you find stations and/or help you find holes in which to call. Hope this helps.

Does anyone know of a Dummies Guide to Panadaptors that covers: What is a Panadaptor? What is it used for? Why a ham might want one?

Re: [Elecraft] Some P3 Details
One last question that I'm more than willing to keep quiet but its been on my mind wondering as I've been in a platform defining feasibility tick at work lately... Can I ask what processor you've selected?

Re: [Elecraft] Some P3 Details
Darn.. I was hoping it would run Snow Leopard, support Safari, play MP3s and run iPhone apps. :) Nice job guys. It looks great! Can't wait to get one.

Re: [Elecraft] Some P3 Details
Is there an ability for the K3 to display information on the P3 screen? Such that it may be used as a larger output for RTTY/CW/PSK decoded information. This way one can not only see more text but also use decode while seeing both VFO freqs. ~Brett (KC7OTG) On Sat, 2009-08-15 at 19:23 -0700, Wayne Burdick wrote: > In answer to some of the questions heard at the hamfest and posted here: > > - the P3 can go left or right of the K3 > > - the screen refresh rate will be selectable; the prototype was > running at about six times/second, but we hope to increase that to 20/ > sec > > - there are eight programmable switch functions that could be used as > instant K3 band selects and/or other K3 or P3 functions > > - it could be used with other rigs with only firmware changes, but we > have no immediate plans in this regard > > 73, > Wayne > > > > > Sent from my iPhone > __ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
[Elecraft] Some P3 Details
In answer to some of the questions heard at the hamfest and posted here: - the P3 can go left or right of the K3 - the screen refresh rate will be selectable; the prototype was running at about six times/second, but we hope to increase that to 20/ sec - there are eight programmable switch functions that could be used as instant K3 band selects and/or other K3 or P3 functions - it could be used with other rigs with only firmware changes, but we have no immediate plans in this regard 73, Wayne Sent from my iPhone __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
