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
HI Frank:
Hmmm. I personally doubt that any competitors are doing market
research via polls at least not polls on an interest group. For
one thing, all they would need to do is read the email postings.
They'd learn all they need to know to be competitive.
For example:

OK, problem solved! *The baud rate was not set to 38400 on the K3*. It was
set to another value. Now the P3 is playing like it should! and still
plugged into the K3 +12 volt DC out!
Thanks to all that e-mailed me with help and encouragement!

1080 overflows my 1080P monitor also. I don't understand why but if you look
in the Errata sheet they recommend 1440 x 900 anyway and claim it updates
faster. Mine works fine in 1440 x 900 and looks great so I am not going to

Like the KX1, the KX3 will include a menu entry for enabling a full

Hi Joe,
Save your money, it won't work. My understanding is that DVI is a digital

and and/or adapters that will fit they just won't work. I haven't received
my SVGA card yet but in preparation I conducted an experiment with

I installed the P3SVGA board in my unit yesterday. On mine, it also does not
display properly in 1920x1080. I have an Acer H243H monitor. It natively
supports Full HD, 1920x1080p. When I set the P3 SVGA output to 1920x1080,
the monitor confirms that it has switched to that resolution. However,
I discovered the same thing. Guy at the local small computer shop said
do not bother. So I checked my weather computer to discover it had a DVI
connector in back then just bought a DVI-D cable which the display card
recognized fine. then used the now empty VGA connector/cable with the
P3.
Hi,
I would suggest checking your monitors settings to make sure it is not

different for your monitor). That is, the monitor can expand a 4x3
image to fit the 16x9 HD image vertically and thus chop off parts of
the image on the
Thanks, Byron, but I have already done this. No joy. The 1920x1080 is a 16:9
mode, so no cropping or stretching should be applied by the monitor.

From your description it seems to me that whilst the resolution is correct
for your monitor, the refresh rate is not.
This is indicated by the image being offset to one side as you describe.

DVI connectors will do both analog and digital, if the connected device
supports both. My first generation Mac Mini had a DVI connector which I used
