P3 - Will it be able to monitor K3 output

[dave.wilburn-2]

Will the P3 (at some point) be able to monitor / display the output of
the K3 (or any other radio)?  Such as a band scope to check modulation
levels or transmit frequency.

The rear panel would certainly indicate that possibility if
the hole marked "sensor" is any indication.

Dave:

One of the suggestions (mine) for 'additional features' was to allow the P3 to
function as a transmitted waveform monitor (a la SM-220/SM-230, and others).
I'm hoping that the blank hole on the back of the P3 case (labeled 'SENSOR')
will eventually bring to us that feature.

Not sure we'll be able to monitor OUR transmitted bandwidth, but it'd sure be
very handy to be able to monitor our transmitted waveform.  Having
had a monitor
scope for 40+ years (starting with a Heathkit HO-10), I cannot
imagine operating
my station WITHOUT a monitor scope in-line... they've saved my bacon several
times in years past... I wouldn't be without one.

I am waiting for this feature to be announced before I order a P3. I don't
mind the wait but until it is announced that it will be made available then
I feel I have limited application for a P3 given my type of operation.

>From what I am reading though the P3 certainly looks like a valued
accessory.

I think it's more a question of "when" than "whether," although I've heard
no promises so far.

The list of suggested extra functions for the P3 is longer than the current
spec! I expect the P3 to be a continuing source of delight for many years as
it evolves from a simple but very slick panadapter/waterfall display into a
rich platform for station control and monitoring. The empty but
tantalizingly labeled holes on the rear panel, the vast, empty spaces inside
the box and the fertile imaginations of the Elecraft team and their users
are all strong indicators of a bright future for the P3. Right now it's
decidedly cool. I look forward to "awesome." But don't wait! Elecraft's
reputation for protecting customers' investments with backward-compatible,
field-installable enhancements is legendary.
