[Elecraft] When might there be a P3 sale or drop in price

2020-02-17 Thread AE4PB
I've been fighting getting the P3 for years. After trying to get SDR based pan adapters to work reliably (I like the mouse point and tune feature) I've decided I want to buy a toaster. Just plug it in and it works. A fully loaded 200watt P3 with video card..etc is hard to swallow when I can buy

P3 doesn't have a mouse point-and-tune feature that I know of. LpPan with NaP3 software does. On Mon, Feb 17, 2020 at 10:42 AM wrote: > I've been fighting getting the P3 for years. After trying to get SDR based > pan adapters to work reliably (I like the mouse point and tune feature) > I've >

Yes, but the P3 plays so well with the K3 or K3S.  I know it is an investment, but I spent the bucks for the K3S, the P2, the KPA500 and the KAT500.   There IS NOTHING finer and of better performance.   The system integrates so well and smoothly it is thought of as one has a 500 watt transceive

Been in the same situation, finally had luck and could buy a used P3 for a reasonable price. Not fully loaded, but I can second it was worth the investment. I played with different panadapters and SDR-software in the past and have given up on this. The integration/configuration is not a dream. Kee

Everyone's setup and goals are different, but I can add my perspective on this topic having owned an LP-PAN2 for years. Plus I bought and owned a P3 with the VGA addon for comparison with the way I operate from my home station with my K3S. I also have tried both the RSP1a and the RSPduo with the

Rick and all, The P3 can listen to the IF of most any receiver, not just the K3. Its input is tunable from 455kHz up to 21 MHz. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/17/2020 12:18 PM, Rick Bates, NK7I wrote: And don't forget that the P3 is actually an almost complete receiver (minus audio).  It just 'happens'

Consider that the P3 also has an IF output, so you can run the P3 along with the LP-Pan, SDRs, etc. For those who want mouse QSY as well as the P3 display, that can be 'the best of both worlds'. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/17/2020 1:24 PM, M. George wrote: Everyone's setup and goals are different, bu
