Re: [Elecraft] Medium size monitor for P3?
All these small monitors seem to have one thing in common. The horizontal resolution is standard but the vertical is less than normal. For example, instead of 1024x768 the 8,9 is 1024x600. I do not see that resolution listed for the P3SVGA. In addition, neither of these monitors have VGA connectors. They connect to a computer with USB and there is a special driver loaded to send the video over USB. I do not think there are any plans for the P3SVGA to send out a video signal over USB. Unfortunately my statement still stands. I hope someone can prove it wrong. So far 10 inch or less, 1024x768 minimum, and VGA input seems to be a null set. Doesn't mean such a unit doesn't exist, but finding one isn't easy. I will say this. The resolution on the P3 display is 480x272 so 800x480 should display things quite nicely. But that said, that resolution is not supported by the P3 nor the USB connectivity. The other small monitors I found had reduced vertical resolution and composite input (RCA jack). Still not compatible with the P3SVGA. Please correct me if I am wrong Altos. Keep looking guys.

Re: [Elecraft] Medium size monitor for P3?
Hi Dave, Xenarc makes a series of small 7 TFT LCD displays that have both AV inputs and VGA input. The XENARC 700TSV model supports screen resolutions from 640 x 480 thru 1600 x 1200. This model is a 7 inch touch screen but they make non touch versions also. Expensive but work as advertised: http://www.xenarc.com/product/700ts.html 73, Frank - W6NEK - Original Message - From: David Christ radio...@mchsi.com To: Joel Black joel.b.bl...@gmail.com; :@mailman.qth.net Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2012 11:20 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Medium size monitor for P3?

Re: [Elecraft] Medium size monitor for P3?
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?

Re: [Elecraft] Medium size monitor for P3
More information from the Elecraft group brain. This too looks like it meets Doug's needs. But now the price is down to $150. They include a wall wart but I would power it off my regular 12 volt supply.

Many Thanks Bill; Now that's a really slick little monitor. Gotta buy one. I couldn't help it, my P3-vga card is coming and I defiantly needed a new monitor but don't have much space. This is perfect for my purposes. Touch screen too! What a deal. I'll share the display through a KVM switch with my micro box PC or buy another one for dedicated display.
