Hi there Elecraft programmers,
Feature request here...
Would it be possible to add a user controllable switch in the P3 setup
for the Transmit monitor, which allows the numeric SWR and POWER reading
to be held, as opposed to being removed at termination of transmit?
Thanks for
P3 feature request: I'd like to be able to connect both a mouse and keyboard
and use the mouse for click to tune operation, drag and zoom, drag and
unzoom.etc..
I'm currently using $50 setup that requires a computer. If the P3 had mouse
features I'd strongly consider and probably buy it
That's actually pretty much what I have used CW Skimmer for in several
contests. I feed the audio from my K3 into my computer sound card, and
I use CW Skimmer in Audio Mode (essentially single single frequency
audio bandwidth) without the decoding feature enabled. In other words,
I use CW
I was joking. Apparently cookies, milk, and a Corona on Christmas Eve
wasn't as obvious as I thought it would be.

1. A small sensor input board that plugs into the existing boards on the P3.
2. A RF sensor, similar, but not identical circuitry, to our existing

Fairly obvious that an external sensor will be needed, probably the same (or
similar) sensors to what is used for the W2 wattmeter. Also, since there is
no current corresponding input on the P3, an option board will be required
for that. (Strictly speculation on my part, but fairly obvious to me)
Possibly, with modification to several component values on the board inside, but
I can't guarantee that they will still work with the W2 after modification.
