John, I agree. Sharing a screen with say N1MM for example would work for me. Having it just swallow the screen is of no interest to me either and the P3 will remain OFF my shopping list.

It kills completely my interest in the product. I had envisioned a hardware card that would communicate with software running on the PC, not something that required a dedicated monitor. I think the product needs some serious re-thinking.

It will not share the display with anything else, like your PC (unless some external hardware is used to accomplish this). It is designed to use it's own dedicated monitor. (In other words, filling the entire screen). 73, Bruce, N1RX" On 12/18/2011 9:09 AM, Jim McDonald wrote: "John, My understanding is that, similar to the Yaesu DMU-2000, this is not a computer application that uses a window. It requires a dedicated monitor or one that can be switch between the P3 and a computer using a switch in the monitor." ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
