As a compromise, you might look at some of the larger Tamrac Ultra
Pro bags that hold a huge amount of camera gear plus a laptop
computer. To my surprise, this is always accepted as my personal
effects bag. I can then pack quite a lot of radio gear in my carryon
roller board.

To expand on this- A version of the P3 without its built-in display, but
using an external monitor would be more transportable, and if it could
be put into the KAT500 box (who knows how much space might be available
inside the enclosure), then it really would be very transportable.

Did I miss a projected price for the P3SVGA upgrade?? It will be a nice
addition and I plan to use it with a video switch to shift the P3 display to
the computer monitor as needed.
Nice to see the P3 box getting additional functions. Great job. Thanks

The P3 current display will remain as-is. The SVGA option will allow
those who have been requesting a larger display screen to have their
requests. If you are satisfied with the current P3 display, nothing
will be changed.

Morning Fred,
When you see what appear to be the harmonics of WWV's audio tones, have you
tried reducing the level of the signal reaching the K3 - P3 (e.g. by turning
on the K3's ATT)? If ATT is switched ON, does the amplitude of each tone
harmonic seen decrease by the same amount (in db) as t
I recall your thread, Fred.
As I've used Fldigi to calibrate various rigs with its Freq analysis
mode, I too saw the effect. I assumed that it was likely an artifact of
the soundcard or some such. That it comes up on the P3 discounts that
assumption. I don't have an explanation. However, I'm r

Well, if these connectors match up to the unused cutouts in the

Seems to me you would need either (1) a monitor device with two inputs and
built in PIP capability, another video processor in the P3 to also take your PC
video and provide PIP on the P3 output, or software and something other than a
SVGA video output form the P3 to let your PC do the PIP on it'
I consider the ability to have a resizable, position independent display on
a computer connected monitor as significant as a dedicated display monitor.
Does the opportunity exist to have a windowed display of the P3 output?
