P3

I wonder how many of the P3 have been sold to date or promised as the case may be. I'm beginning to squirm in my chair but i like to wait a bit on a new product to see what kind of problems show up and how they are going to be resolved. Sure looks nice though.

Be interesting to hear some feedback from the buyers of kits to see how they go together and if they run into any snags.

Re: P3

I put the kit together and slapped the thing on the radio it then
instantly came up and started displaying signals. Can't get any more
simple! Building the P3 took way less time to build and setup than
the LP-PAN. Both have their place in the world.

Re: P3

How long did it take you Brett?

Don't expect a benchmark time since we all do things at our own pace, just wondering about your experience.

Re: P3

Bout an hour and a half or so including time that it took to take it
out of the box... Not to mention the fact that I was one the phone
while assembling it. However my time was kept low and I was able to
built it with divided attention because I'd already read the manual.
There are very few possible screws to have to separate things from and
thus the thing just poof goes together in a heartbeat. The only real
secret is that you need to kinda put things together slightly loosely
and make sure you get it all square and sealed up tight before you
tighten things down.
