One of the most important factors in picking any monitor is whether it, or its PSU, generates noise, and how much it generates. An ideal condition is to be able to power from a 12-14V bus, so that you can drive it from the (hopefully) clean PSU that's running your radios. Probably 6-8 years ago, our contesting team discovered some 24-in Samsung monitors that met this condition, and all of us have bought them. One is running as an extension on the laptop on which I'm typing now, from from sealed lead-acid that is being float charged by a linear PSU. The one in my wife's office is also powered that way. There's detailed advice about this arrangement in applications note about finding and killing receive noise. k9yc.com/publish.htm 73, Jim K9YC __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

I’m doing the same with a 34” Samsung TV. I also use a splitter that feeds a 21” Viewsonic touch screen. All from the single K4 HDMI port.

Re: [Elecraft] Big Screen for K4
Alan - I am sure others will weigh in with more detail, but I feed an external monitor via the HDMI out from the K4D and it can be setup to 'mirror' the K4D, or to just display the waterfall. If there are more options I don't recall.

[Elecraft] Big Screen for K4
I am in the process of listing my superb K3/P3 in order to purchase a K4. I have watched Eric’s Videos demoing the K4 and there is always a large screen display connected to the K4. I planned To keep my K4 setup clean and simple but the plethora of 24 inch TV’s on sale for under $100 Is speaking to me. So, I even think this is a dumb question, but if the std “video” port on the back panel of the K4 can Use a std cable to a TV set vs a “Monitor”, does the basic digital video mirror the front panel display? Thanks for any help.
