[Elecraft] P3 - soft key labels disappeared

So, before I just go fix this ... I run my K3 both locally and remote to W7RN. Was remote last night in the 0300Z CWT, P3 doesn't work of course in remote, and local tonite the soft-key labels for FN1-FN8 are gone. Tried the usual with no good results. Before I dig out the manual and

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Firmware and PigKnob

Hi Randy, I've been thinking of pulling the trigger on a K-Pod, but in retrospect what I really need most is a way to move the marker and simulate a knob press remotely on the P3. [js] This is exactly what I’m after ... only with the PX3. Of course, if you can control the PX3 / P3 markers using

[Elecraft] P3 Firmware and PigKnob

I've been thinking of pulling the trigger on a K-Pod, but in retrospect what I really need most is a way to move the marker and simulate a knob press remotelyon the P3. The ability to control the radio this way without having to move my hands away from the keyboard would be a wonderful tool

[Elecraft] P3 SVGA Feature Request

It would be great if the VGA adapter showed tic marks and frequency across the top or bottom of the display screen every 10 kHz or so like in this mocked-up picture. Scaling of the frequency display should change as bandwith is

[Elecraft] P3 Lines

My P3 has developed some white horizontal lines on the screen that come and go sometimes many and sometimes a few I reseated the ribbon cable but did not think that to be it anyway and it made no difference. any ideas Dave VE3SD (ve3dvy) .

[Elecraft] P3 Kit Pricing

I am sure the extra cost for building and testing any of the Elecraft products is worth the money if that is the way someone wants to go. All the Elecraft products I have, or have had, were built by my son Andrew KK6EME that includes 2 K3s, P3, KX3, KPA500, KXPA100 and a K2 /100(sold). The only

Re: [Elecraft] P3 pricing

Maybe Elecraft can weigh-in about the "Burn-In Time" for the boards used in the kits. I have all kits and suspect that my Elecrafts are actually as good as factory except they were assembled by a rank amateur (Elecraftwise). I do know that I had no qualms about modify the filters or motherboard

[Elecraft] P3 pricing

I disagree that factory built value is nil. When I bought my K3 I was told factory builds went through a 24 hour burn in, and then checked for specs. That to me is value. If a used item is 75% or more of new item pricing, the warranty alone decides for me to buy new. Sent from my iPad

Re: [Elecraft] {P3] resale value

Amen! I also feel I got a Premium product too and has been worth the price. I bought my K3 used and got about a 25% savings. I never felt that Elecraft support treated me any different than an original purchaser, that was a plus and helped lead me down road to the complete K-line purchase,

Re: [Elecraft] {P3] resale value

Jerry, I agree with Bill. Not much to tinker with in a P3, you just connect it and use it -- unless you add the SVGA board. And, unlike my K3, the P3 is current production: So far as I know there is no P3s. 73, Phil W7OX On 5/25/16 8:22 AM, Nr4c wrote: Jerry. It's only worth what you
