Don, I use this process regularly when repair or using PC's that have VGA inputs. My personal desktop uses DVI. I do this intentionally. I would also like to correct my previous email posting to mean monitor inputs. I used "outputs" which is totally wrong.
73, Bill K9YEQ -----Original Message----- Whether or not that can work might be monitor dependent - that is why I did not mention it. But even if the monitor input cables can be switched by the monitor itself, it is still a dedicated "one at a time" connection. It sounded to me like the original poster thought there was a PC involved in the connection. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/14/2012 5:18 PM, Bill K9YEQ wrote: > I would also think that if one has a DVI and VGA output on the > monitor, you could hook up both a PC and The P3VGA outputs to the same > monitor and alternate between both inputs using the usual switch > located on the monitor itself.
