P3 version 1.13 is now available from the Elecraft website and FTP via P3 utility.
Release notes for this revision: Removed 57,600 and 115,200 baud from the RS-232 menu. Added "SVGA font" menu selection to change font size on external display. (Requires upcoming new release of P3SVGA firmware) Added "SVGA bias" menu selection to adjust waterfall color bias on external display. (Requires upcoming new release of P3SVGA firmware) Monochrome waterfall option now works on external SVGA display also. (Requires upcoming new release of P3SVGA firmware) Waterfall averaging on external SVGA display is correct after a power cycle. Span for fixed-tune mode is now set properly upon parameter initialization. Fixed parameter initialization bug that could cause P3 to lock up after band change or parameter initialization. There is a known issue in this release with Averaging Control adjustment and the SVGA board: When exiting Averaging Control on the P3, the encoder must be used instead of a short tap of the Display/Average key, otherwise the adjustment text will remain on the external display. 73, Paul |
I don't need a large monitor for the P3, but would like a 7-10" display.
Are there such monitors available anywhere? I've not had any luck in finding one. 73, doug ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |
I see the issue. I could find monitors under 10" but the resolution
was 800x600 at the best. Going to 10 inches only increased that to 1024x768 David K0LUM At 6:16 PM +0000 3/26/12, Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604 wrote: >I don't need a large monitor for the P3, but would like a 7-10" display. >Are there such monitors available anywhere?

Try the automotive video displays. They have 7 - 10 inch monitors,
some bare, some "packaged". http://www.qualitymobilevideo.com/7-10-headrest-monitor.aspx as an example. 73, matt W6NIA On Mon, 26 Mar 2012 18:16:11 +0000, you wrote: >I don't need a large monitor for the P3, but would like a 7-10" display. >Are there such monitors available anywhere?

1024x768 looks great with the P3-SVGA. :-)

Eric says 1024x768 looks good, however the headrest units seem to
have resolutions of 1440x234 or 480x234 which seems to be rather low in the vertical resolution. Also none of them seem to have VGA inputs. Composite seems to be the rule. So far 10 inch or less, 1024x768 minimum, and VGA input seems to be a null set. Doesn't mean such a unit doesn't exist, but finding one isn't easy. Lets all keep on looking.

>Removed 57,600 and 115,200 baud from the RS-232 menu.
Paul, Can you elaborate the reason for removing these rates? I saw lost of communication with K3 when the P3 is set to these rates and both devices are daisy-chained to one COM port. Is this a fundamental issue or we can hope to have these rates returned in the future? Perhaps if one connects P3 to a different COM port, will it work? The screen capture with 115200 takes only 12 seconds - I loved it!

Hi Igor,
We found the higher baud rates unreliable with some combinations of equipment. We'll be providing much better throughput in the future using some form of data compression. 73, Paul |

All these small monitors seem to have one thing in common. The
horizontal resolution is standard but the vertical is less than normal. For example, instead of 1024x768 the 8,9" is 1024x600. I do not see that resolution listed for the P3SVGA. In addition, neither of these monitors have VGA connectors. They connect to a computer with USB and there is a special driver loaded to send the video over USB. I do not think there are any plans for the P3SVGA to send out a video signal over USB. Unfortunately my statement still stands. I hope someone can prove it wrong. >>So far 10 inch or less, 1024x768 minimum, and VGA input seems to be a >>null set. Doesn't mean such a unit doesn't exist, but finding one isn't easy. I will say this. The resolution on the P3 display is 480x272 so 800x480 should display things quite nicely. But that said, that resolution is not supported by the P3 nor the USB connectivity. The other small monitors I found had reduced vertical resolution and composite input (RCA jack). Still not compatible with the P3SVGA. Please correct me if I am wrong Altos. Keep looking guys.

Hi Dave,
Xenarc makes a series of small 7" TFT LCD displays that have both AV inputs and VGA input. The XENARC 700TSV model supports screen resolutions from 640 x 480 thru 1600 x 1200. This model is a 7 inch touch screen but they make non touch versions also. Expensive but work as advertised: http://www.xenarc.com/product/700ts.html 73, Frank - W6NEK ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Christ" <[hidden email]> To: "Joel Black" <[hidden email]>; <":"@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2012 11:20 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Medium size monitor for P3? > All these small monitors seem to have one thing in common.

Somehow I have become the focus on this although it was Doug N6TQS
that had the need I don't need a large monitor for the P3, but would like a 7-10" display. Are there such monitors available anywhere? I've not had any luck in finding one. 73, doug Good show Frank, you win the prize. I knew if we kept at it we would find something for Doug. Another example of the power of the Elecraft community. I looked at the specs on these units and although their native resolution is lower they appear to deal with input VGA resolutions of 1024x768 up to 1600x1200. Looks like they should play well with the P3SVGA. Another neat feature is that they will power off the same 12 volts as the P3 and K3. 1 amp or so. This would fit into a field day or emergency station. Even the possibility of running the whole station off a solar panel charging a battery. Only one downside item. They are a bit pricey at over $200. But what price happiness?
