[PX3][PX3SVGA][P3] PX3 to SVGA Large Screen; and Decoded Text to Native P3 Screen

Thank you, Art.

We've been discussing two new features on this thread ...

Feature #1. Elecraft to develop an internal adapter (i.e., PX3SVGA) to connect a PX3 to an SVGA large screen.

Feature #2. Elecraft (Paul Saffren, N6HZ) to modify the P3 firmware to write,

* text decoded by the K3, and
* text to be transmitted

to the P3 TFT-LCD display (without the need for a P3SVGA).

If you're interested in one or both of these new features, please reply to this thread. This is how Wayne prioritizes new products / features.

Please take into consideration that for many (most?) KX3 owners, the KX3 serves as their one and only one HF rig. While the jokes about lugging an SVGA monitor to a mountain peak are clever, they fail to recognize the reality that a majority of KX3 operating hours are spent at the home QTH.

Re: [PX3][PX3SVGA][P3] PX3 to SVGA Large Screen; and Decoded Text to Native P3 Screen

I will vote for Feature #2. I am neutral on Feature #1 as I do not currently own a PX3 and using
a display screen along with it (if I do purchase a PX3 someday) is not in my plans.

Re: [PX3][PX3SVGA][P3] PX3 to SVGA Large Screen; and Decoded Text to Native P3 Screen

There would also need to be a way to easily toggle between the text display and the TXMON display by a function key assignment that would toggle between them perhaps. There’s only so much screen real estate. Or perhaps a small TXMON window in one corner somewhere.

Of course, if you don’t use TXMON it doesn’t matter, but for those of us that do ... it would.

I vote for Feature 1, having recently acquired a PX3. I run an SDRPlay with various software radio UIs on my laptop and having the PX3 outputting VGA (or DisplayPort perhaps) would probably simplify my setup by replacing the laptop with a flatscreen monitor.

Joe,

Thanks for asking, at this point, I’m looking for Feature #1, as I only have a KX-Line.

However, next spring, I am contemplating a full K-Line and would find value in #2 at that time.

Re: [PX3][PX3SVGA][P3] PX3 to SVGA Large Screen; and Decoded Text to Native P3 Screen

In reply to this post by Joe Stone (KF5WBO)

Hi to the group

I have wanted option 2 for several years. I have asked for it a couple of times but never heard anything back. My shack is small and my portable operation is even smaller. I always send with macros but trying to read the small screen on the K3S is a problem. I have a KX3 and PX3 and find the PX3 works just the way I want except it will not work with the K3S.

Thanks for the bandwidth and I hope soon we get the ability to display the TX and RX information on the {3. I feel this is even more. Important for my contest operation even if my scores are low.

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

In reply to this post by Joe Stone (KF5WBO)

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,

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

Joe,
A vote for neither! Actually to be fair to others - a vote to keep them as a
low priority.
But:
Would love to see TX-Mon on SVGA - but also low priority. I have rearranged
my shack to have P3 back in front of me.
Also would like TX-MON to have audio spectrum display as a selectable
option.
