FW: P3 Feature Request?

[Bruce Beford-4]

No. Obviously. There is no TX output path sampling built into the P3. This
can be seen by studying the manual. There has always been however, a large
empty hole in the back of the P3 labeled "sensor". Therefore (obviously)
space left for a future sensor.

You know it's not that obvious to me.  If I have to "study" the manual,
or look at the back of the rig, it is not obvious...

It's not all that obvious that you're likely to get hit by a
bus when you step off the curb in the middle of a block either
- unless you *look*!

The fact that the P3 has this large hole in the back panel
marked "Sensor" with no connector makes it obvious on even
a cursory inspection that there is additional hardware needed
for that feature/function.

OK, "Study" was not the right term. It's a matter of knowing the basic
functions and capabilities of a piece of equipment. Best done by reading
(not studying) before assuming. For those of us who have had the P3 for some
time, this _was_ obvious. My apologies.

The literature as it exists does not indicate that the P3 is capable of
doing any transmit monitoring - no mention of the "sensor" jack.

The fact that there is a jack on the back of the P3 that is marked
"SENSOR" is akin to the jack on the bottom of the K3 that is defined as
"for factory use only".
There has been a lot of comments and speculation about what that jack
could potentially be used for, but it remains "for factory use only".

Yes, a TX monitoring function for the P3 is in the works as indicated by
Eric's post about the sensor, but he did point out that the firmware to
support that function is the gating factor.  It will be interesting to
see what capabilities will be provided by that jack once all the
hardware and firmware to support it are available.

73,

Hi,

Thanks, and no need, to apologize, sometimes mail lists make it
difficult to communicate...  The addition of a single word can change
the meaning of things...  No offense taken.
