Elecraft Panadapter?
I have a PX3 that should be here this evening when the brown santa arrives.
ETA, the PX3 was not on the truck. But the KPXA100 was. Hopefully the tracking showing a package tomorrow will be the PX3.

Lots of choices on displays. I've had mine for a while so surely better ones for less now. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0043T34RK/ref=pe_175190_21431760_C1_cs_sce_dp_2 ETA: Are you going to have it before Thanksgiving and the CW contest that weekend? |

While that monitor seems really nice, I suspect I can save some money by not having built in speakers.

I love my PX3!
I have to say a modern pan adapter is a game changer for HF. |

Built in about 90 minutes, installed in less than 15 minutes. Now I get to figure the darn thing out
I also got the 2.1 kHz roofing filter. That will come in handy at times too. |

Well, how is it? Enquiring minds want to know!
I've only made one contact because I sit here with an A-B switch comparing my Flex and the old TS-830S that I'm working on. The old Kenwood hears well but it sure needs aligned to be 100%. |

It's really cool. I enjoy going from spike to spike. However there is a bit of a learning curve. I am really enjoying it so far.

You'll like it even more when trying to bag DX stations who are working split.

It is really cool when you see a new spike pop up. You can almost make out the pattern in the waterfall if they pause a little. CQ CQ CQ CQ 40 meters
Set your marker over it, QSY, and listen for a minute.

Ok so P3 owners, what do you have your FN1-FN8 set to?

Ok so P3 owners, what do you have your FN1-FN8 set to? Don't use them. Actually, I hardly use any of the buttons. For everyday use, leave the span set to 40 kHz (+/- 20kHz from the green line), and I keep the frequency set to the middle of the CW portion of each band. For instance, I keep the frequency set to 21.020.0 on 15M. That way, I can see virtually all of the CW portion of the band, as I toggle the K3 from one band to another. If I don't see a signal, I just move on to another band. If I see a station working split, I then narrow the span down to 10 kHz (+/- 5 kHz) so I can see where to transmit. And that's it. A simple life is a good life.
