There have been many very good suggestions for P3 options. For me it boils
down to simple use during normal operations.
Normal operations may be meeting friends, DXing, or contesting.
If you are meeting up with friends, someone may ask you to look at their
signal. You have lots of time to fiddle with buttons.
But if you are DXing or contesting, you must focus on the moment. The last
thing you want to do is tweak buttons.
Therefore you want a limited setup of preferred options that minimize the
need for your attention during the event.
I've never used a panadaptor so I have concerns about what features are best
suited for the event and how to apply them.
A. Contesting has made Ham radio a new hobby for me. I could use the P3
to check if a band is open. For CQing,
I would like to know where the least amount of QRM & QRN is located. For S&P
I need to know when the strong new
signals present themselves. I also would like to know if a nearby signal
might be wiping me out.
B. I'm not a DXer but I can imagine that a very narrow BW would be
handy to see if the DX station was favoring a particular
response frequency or to visualize the clearest point in response time.
I'm sure you all have many great P3 operating ideas and I sincerely hope you
will post them for all Elecraft users to share.
Have fun. 73, Fred AE6IC
