All,
By using the Config:2TONE function, one can tune USB or LSB output using a scope. Correct me if I'm wrong. Wouldn't it be nice to have a small scope for tuning and observing the output wave shapes of the K3 TX. It seems to me this could be done with a sensor that connects to the P3 and then uses an add-in module to display the RF envelope on the P3 display. I have a Kenwood SM-230 here, but it is heavy and takes up a lot of room in the shack. Any comments? 73, Tom Amateur Radio Operator N5GE ARRL Lifetime Member QCWA Lifetime Member ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Tom,
The P3 can monitor the K3 IF spectrum right now. A spectral display is often more meaningful than an envelope display on an oscilloscope. For instance, it may be hard to determine just when the waveshape of the envelope begins to flatten, with a spectral display, it is easy to see when spikes appear that are other than the tones themselves. I would rely on a spectrum display more than a 'scope display for 2 tone testing. Yes, it is not monitoring the actual transmit frequency, but the IF signal. One could use a tap on the transmission line as well as attenuators to bring the output signal down to the point where it could be sampled by the P3 - the P3 input frequency can be changed to most anywhere in the RF Spectrum. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/5/2011 1:13 PM, [hidden email] wrote: > All, > > By using the Config:2TONE function, one can tune USB or LSB output using a > scope.

Provisions have been made for this "future feature" already. Note the empty "sensor" cutout on the back of the P3...

Yes, by all means, order it, you will not be sorry!
I bought mine about a year ago... it makes dxing so much easier now. I bought mine factory assembled, and it was easy to hook up to the K3. I understand the kit goes together very quickly and with ease. As far as a technical review, this reflector has a lot of information on the P3. 73 de Jim - KE8G ---- Bill Conkling <[hidden email]> wrote: > Order it! > > ...bill nr4c > > -----Original Message----- > From: Gordan Hribar [mailto:[hidden email]] > Sent: Saturday, November 05, 2011 4:55 PM > To: [hidden email] > Subject: [Elecraft] P3 info ? > > > > Hi all, > > Would like order P3 can I get any advice.. > > e72x > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[hidden email] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[hidden email] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Contact the Elecraft web site at Elecraft.com. I believe they offer secure
ordering.
