Mouse and P3 SVGA

Do you suppose we will ever be able to use the mouse with the P3 and SVGA monitor like the Flex people do? That would sure be nice. 73

No. The P3 is not a computer.

Re: Mouse and P3 SVGA

There is an aweful lot of room in that box.... put a Rasberry Pi in
there and interface it with the board the knobs and buttons are on....
There's a new one on the market now 1/4 the size of the Pi...
I know it's not a trivial exercise, but it should be doable... And I
can think of at least 2 ways to approach the solution.

There are a large [possibly infinite?] number of ways to "do" most
everything. Driving faster than light may be one of the exceptions.
Doing them profitably over a sufficient period of time is another
difficult challenge.

Mouse and P3 SVGA

In reply to this post by Stephen Zumbrun

There is a lot of room in the P3 box. Put a small microprocessor in there that would control a mouse. Why not? Sure would make the P3 and SVGA work better. 73

If the P3 with SVGA had the Point and Shoot selectable VFO's I would
purchase a P3.

look at it http://www.elecraft.com/P3/p3.htm

then decide if its what you are looking for. If not, you can try other

(first requested August 2009 and once every few months ever since)

The P3/PX3 already supports USB HID (Human Interface Device). The firmware currently receives and ignores mouse reports.

Note: The K-Pod is HID-compliant. In addition to P3/PX3 mouse support, you may want to request K-Pod support.

Re: Mouse and P3 SVGA

In reply to this post by Jorge Diez - CX6VM-2

I have tried other computer based panadapters and I now have the P3 with SVGA.

I found that mediating through a computer using a sound card creates configuration issues and results in occasional operating headaches.

By contrast, the P3 is specialized hardware and connection is more reliable and consistent. I spend less time fussing with equipment to make sure it is set up correctly, and more time actually working with the spectrum images on the screen.

I have not used a full SDR radio.

I did find clicking with a mouse to change frequencies was helpful, but the convenience and reliability of the P3 to me far outweighed computer based panadapter solutions overall.

I also appreciate the options available for the P3. I use the SVGA feature and a monitor to enhance audience viewing at my Field Day station. The TX monitor has also been useful in viewing and diagnosing transmission signals as well as better visualizing SWR and power output measurements.

Re: Mouse and P3 SVGA

I second that. Having tried a couple other panadapter solutions I found the
P3 to be the most reliable with the least amount of hassle. The one
shortcoming in my mind is using the tiny knob to QSY... Full mouse support
would be welcome.
I've found that the small screen works better than anticipated, so have not
added the SVGA option. Maybe someday.
Another worthy contender is the built in SDRPlay support in Win4K3 Suite.
It, too is pretty much plug and play, and gives you the point and click
mouse support. I have mine connected to the IF output of the P3, and can
use them in tandem when desired.

Re: Mouse and P3 SVGA

I second that the small screen is more than adequate and the larger screen not necessary for operation.

I like the bigger screen because it is useful when there are observers. I run the GOTA field day station and it is great for training a group.
