I believe with PIP and HDMI you still can only do VGA or DVI, one at a time. Watching the tube as PIP is sweet, I must admit.

Rick WA6NHC -----Original Message----- From: Don Wilhelm 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.
