Re: [Elecraft] P3 SVGA USB Keyboard transmission controls

Hi Sam, Version 1.16 of the P3/SVGA firmware sends the text assigned to a key without respecting the current Tx mode (VOX, CR, etc). I've since fixed this and it will be included in the next firmware release, which hopefully will be available for beta testing soon. 73, Paul -- View

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Problem

Hi Larry, It sounds like the SVGA is not seeing that the K3 has stopped transmitting and has gone into receive. Here are some suggestions: 1) Make sure both the SVGA and P3 are running latest firmware. P3 1.26 SVGA 1.16 2) Ensure that the serial cable going between the K3 and P3 is good and

Re: [Elecraft] P3 display hanging

Hi Tim, Are you using Fixed Tune mode on the P3/SVGA? In Fixed Tune mode, there is quite a bit if information passing between the K3 and P3/SVGA and it sounds like the Commander polling is affecting this communication. Try using Tracking Mode on the P3/SVGA and see if that solves the hanging

Re: [Elecraft] [P3} SVGA resolution text decoding, etc.

Hi Jim, #1) Try turning off the auto mode on your monitor. The P3/SVGA may be outputting a pixel clock that is incompatible with your monitor. Also, just as a test, change the P3/SVGA resolution down to 1024x768 and see if the screen fills correctly. #2) Currently there is no way to

Re: [Elecraft] Keyboard for P3 SVGA

Hi Jim, The keyboard I use here is the Logitech K360. You can usually find them at a great discount from Staples and Amazon. Technically speaking, the USB stack on the SVGA board is looking for a basic PC BIOS keyboard. 73, Paul -- View this message in context:

Re: [Elecraft] XG3 set up

Re: [Elecraft] P3 SVGA display problem 1920x1080

Hi Mike, The SVGA card uses an embedded VGA controller. This means that we're limited to two possible pixel clocks for the 1920x1080 resolution. Some monitors cannot sync to the pixel clocks and this causes the display to show the two black areas you noticed.Try setting manual mode on your

Re: [Elecraft] P3 SVGA; chars randomly omitted during Tx

Hi Stewart, We, along with many of our customers have had very good luck with the Logitech K360 Wireless keyboard. It can often be found very inexpensively online.Stay away from keyboards that have built in mice, or what are call composite devices. The SVGA USB driver does not support

Re: [Elecraft] P3 SVGA RTTY decode question

Hello Hisashi, The P3/SVGA terminal mode which allows you to display decoded CW/RTTY/PSK31 text on an external monitor uses the decoder built in to the K3. If you are missing characters on the SVGA display, first make sure that the K3 is correctly configured to decode the correct mode.
