P3SVGA

Installed P3SVGA in a P3 this weekend.
The P3 starts up, says "waiting for SVGA" and shuts off.
Any idea what's up?
thanks,
Phil K3TUF

Re: P3SVGA

Look carefully at the insertion of the P3SVGA board in the P3 board. Also, have you installed the FW on the P3 to utilize the SVGA addition?

Re: P3SVGA

Must the firmware be installed first? If it would start now, I'd do
the firmware.

Hi Phil,

It sounds like the SVGA board is not powering up, or there is something wrong with it. Be sure to check the 40 pin connector between the P3 I/O board (serial board) and the SVGA board, and make sure it is aligned properly and that all pins are inserted correctly. Then look at the 40 pin ribbon cable and make sure it is connected correctly to the SVGA board. If it all looks correct and you're still not able to get it to work, please call Elecraft customer support and we'll get you straightened out.

73,

Paul

Also make sure you are powering the P3 from an adequate power supply (at least 1 A). The SVGA option adds enough current that the 12 V output on unmodified older K3s may not be able to supply enough current for proper operation of the P3 and SVGA together.

73,
