Hi,

If your monitor has a native resolution that is not one of the selections on the P3 menu you should contact Elecraft support and they will consider adding it to the list in a future firmware revision. This matter was discussed extensively when the SVGA was first announced. So your problem should only be temporary.

Regarding the amplitude differences between the K3 and P3, please remember that both the K3 and P3 require calibration. A signal source like the XG2 is needed to perform this procedure. The steps are described in the manuals on the following pages:
K3 manual page 51 (S meter calibration)
P3 manual pages 24 and 25 (amplitude calibration)

If you don't have a signal source and you feel comfortable that the K3 is correct, you can probably manually adjust the P3 to equal the K3 and consider that adequate.

Installed my P3SVGA and have two things that I need help with. 1st I have a new monitor 23" Acer HD-1080P. The P3 in 1920 x 1080 mode will not fit the screen (too large) I have to run in the 1440 x 900 mode to fit the screen. The 2nd issue I have is the S reading on my K3 does not match the reading on the P3. A S9 on the K3 shows about S4.5 on the P3. Ideas?
