Hi Bill. I tried the entire range of the REF level control with no effect.
Raising the brightness on the display just causes the black to turn gray,
plus I want to share the monitor with other things which precludes having a
special setup just for P3.

Sorry Larry, I guess there is nothing simple about your issue. I would check

Otherwise perhaps send the P3 as is to elecraft. Cant think what else could

For what its worth, I have the same problem as Larry. The waterfall on
the P3 is OK but NOT on the VGA monitor. It seems as if some traces are
OK but others do not even register but I do see some of them. Not a
problem for me however because I do not use the waterfall display at all..

I generally would want UHF connectors, but some BNC.
Neither of the two houses I mentioned show UHF connectors at all.
They're generally targeting the commercial world and seem to be at

I find that to be an odd project, given that the selling point of the P3

No kidding...
But now, I'll have both.
And it will cost more than an LP-Pan, but when I want to pack up and go, I
still don't need the computer.

They sometimes have one or more BNC connectors already on the cable.
