P3 :: wish list

[inventor61 .]

Looks from the picture that the sheet metal has been committed.  That's a
shame.

This would have been the perfect opportunity to add the dedicated band
buttons needed for band-stacking registers.
If the P3 had those, it'd sell for that reason alone.  I would pay an extra
$$$ to get them.

Hope the serial data and buffered IF signals are available as loop-throughs
on the back panel, as well as perhaps a DC interconnect.

Not sure but I'd bet (and hope) that the panadapter simply comes with an
RCA jack for its power.  That way that it can just be plugged into the
DC out on the back of the rig.

Speaking of opportunities, I've been pondering whether it wouldn't be a good
idea to offer a kit where you could repackage the K3 and the P3 (and
whatever else) into a single unit - perhaps 19" wide :-) which would allow
integration of multiple goodies.  Perhaps allow the package to acomodate the
PR6 (allow for 2), the KRC2 band decoders, transverters,  wattmeter, flux
capacitor, and dilithium crystals.

I find it is easiest to dream when I'm not the one who'll be doing the
actual work.  :-)

73,

I have a Toyota Tundra that I use for travel that sometimes carries a
K3.

Would it be possible to make a few special units to fit in the dash
just below the factory radio and CD player.  I'd be willing to pay
about $15 extra for that.

With tongue in cheek...
