P3 SVGA problem

I installed the SVGA board in my P3 and am unable to access the terminal
mode. In effect, the P3 operates as it always did prior to the SVGA
installation - nothing is new. I have installed the latest firmware -
for the entire station.

I only bought the SVGA for macro uses - hence, did not plan to have an
external monitor installed. Is an external monitor required for this
purpose?

Thanks,

Re: P3 SVGA problem

Hi Bill,
No, no external monitor is used... You should see a message pop up on
the P3 screen, indicating a USB device has been plugged in, when you
plug in a keyboard. If this does not happen, and you are sure you are
using a dumb keyboard, not a multimedia keyboard, then something is
either not set up correctly, or broken. If setup might be the issue,
look in Cady's book, if broken, give Elecraft a call... It has been
too long for me to remember if setup can break this...

Never mind - got help to move things around and plugged a monitor into
the SVGA port. All fixed.

Too bad the instruction manual never explicitly state that requirement.
Would have saved hours of time and effort.

Re: P3 SVGA problem

I suppose. But the monitor is what most users wanted in the beginning and more recent features weren't even in their dreams when the manual was written
