Brian I've played with a softrock and rocky but it never really did it for me, maybe i didn't set it up correctly? It never seems very sensitive to me even with the IF out mod on the k3, Are you using a preamp / filter on the softrock? Anyway the idea of the P3 was a good one, just hope they can add this feature in future release.
