P3 SVGA Tx/Rx Window Sizes

W0ZR
The window sizes on the screen on my P3 SVGA only go from 2-5 on WinR and from 0-3 on WinT when setting up for RTTY.  The manual says the window sizes should go up to "40" lines total.  I have the data font size set to the smallest font.

Tom, W0ZR

Tom, the data area occupies part of the waterfall area of the screen. Have
you tried increasing the waterfall height?

Just got in from doing some chores, Tom.
I am seeing a similar thing here. It looks like the total number of lines in
the current (pre-beta) firmware is limited to something like 7 lines total.

I have not been able to expand the displayed data area greater than this.

Perhaps the firmware engineer (Paul) will chime in when he sees this.

The water fall is not on.

Not sure what I did, Tom but...
I went outside and washed the wife's Jeep, came back in and turned the K3
and P3 back on. I was able to set the Tx and RX windows to 12 lines each. I
am not sure what specific keystrokes/power cycling enabled it, but now I
have tall TX/RX data windows, and a fairly skinny waterfall display.

I'll give that a try.  But in the menu it only shows 0-4 lines when trying
to adjust it, not 0-40 as stated in the manual.

Mike,

You cannot find it.  It is material for Field Testers.
An email to Paul ([hidden email]) might get a copy sent to you as
long as you are willing to report your observations and any problems to
Paul.

Don W3FPR

Hi Tom,

There are several factors that control the number of Rx and Tx window line counts.  The resolution of the display, the height of the waterfall and the font size are the most important settings.   Obviously if you're trying to use a large font (fntD=3) and a low resolution (1024x768) with the waterfall height set low, you're going to be limited to the number of lines that can be displayed.   Try increasing the height of the waterfall and/or reducing the data font size.  

The current BETA firmware is available  here

73,

Paul
