[PX3][PX3HDMI][P3] PX3 to HDMI Large Screen; and Decoded Text to Native P3 Screen

[Edward A. Dauer]

Since you asked . . .

These would not be high priority for me, though if the PX3 could drive a large screen I might make use of it.  HDMI would be the better choice.

Option number 2 – text on the P3 screen – is not important to me for two reasons.  For one, in all the years I have owned it I have never used the K3’s text decode even though I am 100% CW.    And if text did appear on the P3 screen, I wouldn’t be able to read it on that screen anyway.  Too small.

What I would have liked, had they been developed in this order, would have been an SVGA panadapter device without its own chassis and screen.  Right now my P3 is used solely to drive a large monitor.  Other than pushing its programmable buttons now and then I never look at the P3 itself.

    I've attempted to fold in the feedback thus far.  If you haven't already,
    please reply to this thread if you're interested in one or both of these new
    features.
   
    PX3 TO LARGE SCREEN
   
        Feature #1A (preferred). Elecraft to develop an internal adapter (i.e.,
    PX3HDMI) to
            connect a PX3 to a large screen through an HDMI interface.
   
        Feature #1B. Elecraft to develop an internal adapter (i.e., PX3SVGA) to
    connect a
            PX3 to large screen through an SVGA interface.
   
    DECODED / TRANSMITTED TEXT TO NATIVE P3 SCREEN
   
        Feature #2. Elecraft (Paul Saffren, N6HZ) to modify the P3 firmware to
    write,
   
            * text decoded by the K3, and
            * text to be transmitted / transmitted text
   
        to the P3 TFT-LCD screen (without the need for a P3SVGA).  This firmware
    change
        must continue to support the existing P3 Tx Mon (Transmit Monitor)
    option, for
        example, displaying the power output and SWR displays in place of the
    decoded
        text during transmit,

> Since you asked . . .

Actually, I asked "if    *you're interested in*    one or both of these new features ... please reply to this thread".  Wayne is trying to gauge how many PX3 HDMI Large Screen Adapters he'll sell, not how many PX3 HDMI Large Screen Adapters he won't sell.

I don't own a K3.  I have no plans to purchase a K3.  I could have said displaying decoded text on the native P3 screen should be a low priority.  However, that would have been selfish on my part.  I chimed in when it was (incorrectly) stated that the P3SVGA (and PX3) decodes text and that the P3 could never display decoded text without a P3SVGA.  Wayne confirmed it's simply a "Small matter of programming."  I left it to reflector participants to express their interest in this feature.

I currently display decoded text and text to be transmitted on my PX3 screen using a 5 x 7 font.  That's 335 text characters across five lines.  I appreciate the fact that not everyone can comfortably see 5 x 7 text characters on a 4-1/4" diagonal screen.   However, I see no reason why the P3 shouldn't support those who can.  Would I prefer to view decoded and transmitted text on a larger screen connected to my PX3 via an HDMI cable?  Absolutely.  That's why I proposed the new feature.

I have seen this pop up several times over the past few days. I cannot seem to find the OP.

My only question - does this originate with Elecraft or the reflector?

Thanks.

Reflector.

I may have missed the latest update of this but has there been any progress
on using an external monitor via HDMI to connect to the PX3 (own a KX3 and
hope to soon have a PX3)?   Thanks for any update!

Jack, WB7TJL

Jack,

The PX3 has no capability for a large monitor.  The USB jack is for a
keyboard.  That means there is no way to connect a large monitor.

The P3 (used with the K3 and other radios with an IF output) does have
an option to use an SVGA monitor, but that operates from the transceiver
output, not the RX IQ baseband signals.

You can however connect the RX IQ output to a computer soundcard and the
KXUSB to run a panadapter application on the computer.  NaP3 and Win4K3
are two, HDSDR may be another.  If you then interface your computer with
an HDMI monitor, then you may have what you want.

I know the capability exists, but I am not currently using those
applications.  If you have trouble with setup or operation, consult the
forums for that particular software.

73,
Don W3FPR
