Got external Monitor running on P3

NK7Z
Hi,
I got the external monitor running on the P3, was easy...  Cost all of
100 bucks for the monitor, and as far as I can tell it works great, a 7
inch device.

See:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/201226395031?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

It is claiming to be 1920 by 1080!  It is sharp, and was almost plug and
play.  

I had to replace the supplied EU wall wart with a 12 V, center +, 1 A,
US, wall wart, but after that all was well...  Seems to not generate any
RFI either...  

The colors are a bit different from the P3, and it is not quite as
sharp, but I am happy...  Now if I could only get the DECODED CW, etc,
off the K3, and showing ONLY on the SVGA device...  :)

Re: Got external Monitor running on P3

Hi David,

Nice job.

I have a large Asus monitor and the colors are a little different from the P3 and are not quite as sharp. So your experience with your little monitor sounds par for the course. Perhaps the internal P3 monitor is just really good.

I also agree with your comment about the decoded text. I too would like to view decoded text on the external monitor but I don't like giving up my lower K3 display

73,

Hi,
I thought I had it, got a private email suggesting that I press and hold
the TEXT DECODE button, which returned the lower K3 display, but
unfortunately also removes the decoding from the external display.  Kind
of a cool display!  

I think you are correct, the stock display is just really good.
