P3SVGA Option - Split Screen?

I am thinking of adding the SVGA option to my K3-P3. It would be neat to have a single wide screen monitor running split screen, with the P3 display on one side and a logging/spotting program on the other - or if necessary, alternate screen keyed from the computer keyboard. Anyone know if this can be done (by someone who is neither an electrical engineer nor a computer whiz)?

Ted, KN1CBR

Ted,

The SVGA option for the P3 requires a dedicated monitor screen. It
cannot be shared with the output of a computer.

Hi Ted,

I don't have split screen but I do have my external monitor running dual purposes. Most LCD monitors have double or triple inputs these days. And many PCs have 2 or more video outputs. You hook up the P3 SVGA card to the VGA input of the monitor and you hook up the DVI monitor input to the DVI output from your PC. (Your primary PC monitor would run off of the VGA output of your PC).

My monitor has a button on the front that allows it to be quickly switched between the VGA (P3) and the DVI (PC) inputs. You would want to avoid a monitor that does not have a dedicated button. And while I am an electrical engineer I think I explained this in layman terms.

You know what I would buy in an instant? The P3-SVGA card but without the P3 chassis. If that was available as an add-on to the K3. Bring-your-own-display sort of an option. Have a VGA or dvi or maybe even HDMI (much smaller) in the back of a K3.
Is that possible?

Re: P3SVGA Option - Split Screen?

I wanted that from the first. My suggestion was effectively a P3 with no
LCD screen but that required an external monitor.

As the song goes "You can't always get what you want...."
