The P3 has a 15-pin connector (5-5-5 pins per row) for SVGA which provides an analog video output. It is not a 9-pin serial output as you mentioned above. The 9-pin RS-232 serial ports located next to the SVGA port (if installed) the P3 are for interconnecting the P3 to the K3 (“XCVR”) and Personal Computer. So the first thing to check is to ensure that the SVGA video port is indeed installed. On-the-surface, it appears you’ll need a SVGA-to-HDMI converter to convert an analog signal from the P3 to a digital signal compatible with HDMI. SVGA was initially defined as 1024 x 768 8-bit resolution, but the P3 P3 SVGA adapter can handle up to 1920 x 1080 resolution (See: “P3SVGA Option Installation and Operating Instructions” p. 3 that is available on the Elecraft website) so make certain that whatever device you purchase is compatible with the resolution levels of the P3SVGA. > > I do see on Amazon that I can buy a 19-22” LCD monitor for about $100… But with what kind of video interface does it have: Is SVGA available or only digital (DVI or HDMI)?
