All of us have preferences regarding what we want to read and what we

to filter email traffic based on the subject line. Some even will
search the body of a message for key words.

I have one of those and I use it liberally to filter what I see on
this reflector and others. I find that it helps me concentrate on
what I am interested in AND it helps me keep my cool (most of the
time).

I should also say that we each also have topics we like to discuss
among our selves, so we should remember that what trips our trigger
may not trip someone else's trigger.

Email filters can help reduce some of the flaming that we sometimes
find hard to resist.

Hi Larry.

There's a lot of chatter that goes on here that is not strictly Elecraft.

You might look into the various ways of viewing the reflector that you can
more easily skip what you don't care for.

You can set your service via qth.net to not forward individual mails.

Here's my preferred view of the reflector via web browser.

http://mailman.qth.net/pipermail/elecraft/2010-February/date.html

Or you might prefer...

http://mailman.qth.net/pipermail/elecraft/2010-February/thread.html#start

In any event, there is a fair amount of 'general amateur interest' and other
postings here.

Re: I'm having a bad day.

In reply to this post by Larry - K2GN

I like the other topics that come up on the Elecraft web site even if it is discussion of competitor rigs such as Kenwood or Yaesu. The reason I like this is that I think the Elecraft community are overall smarter then the average ham radio operator. I learn a lot in this forum and I am happy to read almost everything that interests me.

Sure, there is some junk that shows up now and then but that is OK. I can ignore that.

Subject: [Elecraft] Elecraft P3 panadapter at the Orlando Hamcation

Below is a link to a couple photos of the new Elecraft P3 panadapter which I
took today at the Orlando Hamcation.

Eric, WA6HHQ, said he expected the price to be around $700.00 (no commitment
here - price subject to change) and he hopes to begin shipping sometime in
April. He said that production and shipping is limited by availability of
the LCD screen vendor to supply product.

Re: Elecraft P3 panadapter at the Orlando Hamcation

Well, once again, Dick, it appears that my light-hearted jab at all the
"predictors" didn't make it through the filter.

:o)

Thanks for the reply nonetheless. My apologies to anyone who took my
comment seriously.

Yes, but don't you have to interchange the "if in" and "if out" cables? And doesn't
the scan run from right-to-left?

And can't you select your own colors (for those who have vonRecklinghausen's color
blindness)? 8>)

You guys are all pretty much wonderful! I mean it.

Re: I'm having a bad day.

In reply to this post by Larry - K2GN

YUP I'm a K2 nut and don't really care to read about all the
new stuff with the K3. That's why I have filters on my e-mail.

We have a very diverse group of folks here.

Your concerns have come up before. The end result is always the same.
This is Elecraft and Elecraft is the order of the day.

However, there are a great many other issues required to put one of these
rigs on the air with a really good signal, maximum performance and ( lord
help me ) computer control.

All things being equal !

No alignment is needed. I'll probably include the ability to fine-tune
the amplitude (like the K3 S-meter calibration) and frequency but it's
not necessary.

The number of posts about non-Elecraft radios haven't in any way
