P3 - Keyboard

[N2TK]

I have the P3 with the SVGA board. But I do not have an external monitor.
The way I read the manual is that you need to hook up an external monitor to
use a keyboard and to have the transmit and receive data windows. Is that
correct?

The reason I don't use an external monitor (I have two already) is that I
don't want to dedicate a monitor to just the P3. I am assuming that the SVGA
option still does not let you size the window and allow other programs to be
displayed on the same monitor, correct?

Just want to verify in case things changed.

 

73 and Happy New Year!

N2TK, Tony

Hi Tony,

Nothing has changed, you cannot view a windows screen from your PC and the enlarged P3 image from the SVGA board on your external monitor simultaneously. You can, however, switch between multiple inputs on most modern LCD monitors. Frequently with a push button on the front of the monitor.

Tony,
FYI, I use an A/B switch to share a monitor between my P3 and Computer.  
I seldom use the computer while operating.
If I do, I can still use the P3.

Tnx Mike for the feedback. Wanted to verify I had not missed something.
Nice idea on switching multiple inputs. Had not thought of that.

Tnx Dick. I may have to hook up a third monitor temporarily to see if I
would really use the keyboard plugged into the P3 with its SVGA functions.
If I like it then I will have to decide how to best set it up on one of the
two existing monitors.
