Re: [K3]_[KRC2]_Is_there_a_KRC3_in_the_w orks?

Let me pendantic here. The configuration program connects to the KRC2
when the program is started, but when I press the 'Send to KRC2' button,
it shows an error message saying it cannot connect.

I beleive this is the same behavior that some other on the mail list
have seen.

In all cases, I'm using a variant of Windows XP, either Personal or
Professional. The config program fails to update the KRC2 on all three
of the XP machines I've tried, but in all cases, I can use the download
program to re-flash the KRC2.

Sorry, Dave, the program was written in Visual Basic for an earlier PC
OS. Seems to work under XP in some but not all cases.

We're trying to line up a resource to update it. Everyone seems to be
working on the K3, or the KX3, or the KAT500, or... well, let's just
leave it at "or".

Thanks, Wayne.

Like I said, everyone at Elecraft has been super nice about this, but as
you say, priorities seem to be getting in the way of having someone look
into this.

Growing pains, I suppose. I appreciate you taking time from Pacificon
to contact me.

Leave it at or?? Please expand on the "or".

Is the P3 a finished project "or" we ever see the ability to attach a larger
screen as was
mentioned here on the reflector. That ability was a consideration in the
original purchase.

Its a -very- active current project. :-) We have finished SVGA hardware on completed pc boards. The firmware is being finished and tested in the lab as I type this.

The SVGA adapter for the P3 plugs into the existing rear IO board inside the P3. It can be added to any existing P3 very easily.

We are currently displaying P3 data on the external monitor at up to 1920 x 1080p. It looks very cool. Stay tuned!

Question... how will the resolution selection be controlled? Through P3 firmware?

Looking forward to this addition... the eyes aren't getting any younger!

Re: [K3]_[KRC2]_Is_there_a_KRC3_in_the_w orks?

In reply to this post by Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ

So, if I was going to purchase a monitor, say 23-25" diagonal, what
should I look for besides the 1920 X 1080P resolution?

Pixel response time? 5ms seems to be the norm.
I assume a 16:9 aspect ratio?
Does contrast ratio make a difference?
I assume I'll want one with a VGA interface, not DVI or HDMI?

I believe that's determined by the resolution since the pixels are
normally square. so 1920x1080 is16:9, 1280x1024 is 5:4 and 1024x768 is
4:3.

VGA.

Earlier, Alan had also mentioned that "the plan is" to support all three
of those formats. (For reference, the native P3 format is 480x272, very
close to 16:9.)

Any chance of some "teaser" screen shots at these higher resolutions,
please? It would help many people to plan their future station layout.
