Somehow I have become the focus on this although it was Doug N6TQS that had the need
I don't need a large monitor for the P3, but would like a 7-10" display. Are there such monitors available anywhere? I've not had any luck in finding one. 73, doug Good show Frank, you win the prize. I knew if we kept at it we would find something for Doug. Another example of the power of the Elecraft community. I looked at the specs on these units and although their native resolution is lower they appear to deal with input VGA resolutions of 1024x768 up to 1600x1200. Looks like they should play well with the P3SVGA. Another neat feature is that they will power off the same 12 volts as the P3 and K3. 1 amp or so. This would fit into a field day or emergency station. Even the possibility of running the whole station off a solar panel charging a battery. Only one downside item. They are a bit pricey at over $200. But what price happiness?
