Thank you very much! I should have it connected and going before the end of
the week. I am wondering if it's a good idea to buy a pre-owned VGA card for the P3, that is of course if I can find one. 73 De AE4PB ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [hidden email] |

How about building your own…

Good link! I could absolutely do that if I wasn’t working full time and earning a masters. I’d not get the keyboard functionality with a DIY card.
I’m just not wanting to pay full retail for a legacy option (although I’m excited to get my P3 and VGA card). I’ll be picking up my P3 this week. I need to get over my key fright and get on the air a bit. Maybe Sunday afternoon. Es 73 De ae4pb ..

The SVGA option for the P3 is not a normal computer type VGA card. You
need the option designed to use the signals in the P3. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/18/2020 12:54 PM, [hidden email] wrote: > Thank you very much!

P3SVGA Video/FFT option in NOT a "VGA card" This is one of the
most common misunderstandings about Elecraft products, partially a result of an uninformative Elecraft web site, poor marketing and a poor choice of part number that reinforces the widespread misunderstanding about the functionality of the P3SVGA option. The P3SVGA 2048 point FFT processor provides much higher frequency resolution per dot on a larger screen. The P3 built-in display has a 480x272 resolution while the P3SVGA resolution is 1440x900. N6TV's web site is far more informative than any P3SVGA performance related information available on the Elecraft web site.

The videos are excellent. Ben Eater is one of the better teachers of digital electronics (especially to a philistine such as myself) on Youtube. I built his 8-bit computer project almost two years ago and I am in the process of building the 6502 computer project (yes, my own Apple-1).
Even though you may not plan on building your own VGA (which Ben refers to as the world’s worst VGA) you should watch the videos to understand how Ben teaches an how VGA signals work. phil > On Feb 18, 2020, at 10:20 AM, [hidden email] wrote: > > Good link!

Concur that a standard computer VGA card will not work here. On the other had if you are referring to a pre-owned Elecraft SVGA option card that you buy used on the market I don't think that will be a problem, I am not aware of later generation cards and most of the feature upgrades are in firmware anyway. If that is what you are thinking you might want to make sure by calling Elecraft.
The SVGA option works with almost any monitor for sale today that has a standard VGA plug connection. While you are at it I would speak positively about the tx monitor option. I have found that really useful to quickly verify my transmitter is operating properly and the microphone settings are ideally configured. I use my K3/P3 combination a lot in Field Day. Things can go wrong in this setting, including disrupted antenna feed lines and antenna malfunctions. In addition with multiple operators using the equipment you don't' know if someone has altered settings in some manner. With the TX monitor equipment you visually see what you are doing with every transmission. You catch something going wrong immediately and can move to correct it. You also know if no one is responding to you it is more likely due to band conditions or who is out there rather than your equipment. -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] <[hidden email]> On Behalf Of Don Wilhelm Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2020 10:24 AM To: [hidden email]; [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Found: P3 The SVGA option for the P3 is not a normal computer type VGA card.

I use 1920 X 1080 on a 22" monitor, and it looks great.
