But the setup doesn't seem to work. Any idea why? Any experience with this monitor and the P3 or is there a comparability problem?
One potential problem is that a DVI monitor is not necessarily designed to work with a SVGA video source. DVI uses digital signals whereas SVGA uses analog signals. In some cases, a DVI source in fact produces both analog and digital (on different pins) which is why a DVI-to-VGA adapter may work with a DVI source connecting to an analog display.
BTW, which Apple Monitor are you attempting to connect?
In your case, you have an analog source attempting to provide video to a digital monitor. I’m not aware any pure SVGA source being compatible with an Apple DVI monitor. The P3 SVGA card expects to be connected to a VGA display, not a DVI.
On a different note: I trust you’re having fun with your setup in SE Georgia. My Elecraft setup is working well in Folkston and I access it remotely to check into the Sunday AMSAT Net from Massachusetts plus listen around the bands.
