[P3] SVGA display issues - couple probs in fact!

Simon Lewis-6

I got my new P3 working this weekend

what a fun box!

v handy - I will enjoy using this on VHF too


I have a couple issues ....

Every couple mins the whole noise floor jumps and a horizontal line appears across this display

is this somekind of time marker or something else

??

Also my shack this morning was cold .... and for a while I got some interference bars that sloped across the screen on the VGA monitor

once the place warmed up they disappeared


anyone else see this

???

Cheers

Simon ZL4PLM

Yes, Simon, you will likely find that the sloping signals drifting
across the waterfall are caused by local switched mode PSUs. Perhaps
your own?

I have found the P3 causes some interference on 2 metres. This was cured
quite simple by placing a ferrite clamp-on at each end of the power
cable between the P3 and K3.

I hope that helps.

Yes I found some interference on 144 and on 28 MHz from the P3

Ill throw some ferrites round the PSU cable

the interference sloping on the screen did not occur on the SDR-IQ hanging off the IF port too

so puzzled by it

will see if I can make it occur again sometime!

Cheers

Simon
