P3 in SO2R

[K5WA]

I'm hoping someone here has a quick answer before I start digging into the
manual...  ;-)

 

Does the P3 have the capability to connect to two K3s and display the
received IF of the opposite rig when one rig is transmitting?  

 

I'm just dreaming up a justification to buy one and my only purpose would be
to easily monitor a second band for openings during a contest.

 

Thanks,

Bob K5WA

You'd have to make an adapter that switched the IF and the RS232 link.

An interesting separately purchasable option for a P3 would be a board
that communicated to the second K3 or other rig (a second IF IN and
RS232) and had various ways of watching either/both, e.g. upper half
screen on rig 1, lower half on rig 2.

Sorry, no.  I'd suggest you connect the P3 to the S&P rig.

I'm finding uses beyond those I expected. It's great for S&P and to find a
relatively clear space to start running.

The waterfall display makes all the difference in the world. You can see the
CW dots and dashes and some indication of relative signal strength.  Makes
it much easier to find holes between stations (for CQing) or weak traces for
stations that you might otherwise tune by in S&P.  Funny how that works, the
weak stations are sometimes tasty multipliers...
