Hi Ken, 1) That is correct. The P3/SVGA does not actually decode any RF. All that is done inside the radio and you must choose between any of built-in modes, such as FSK-D, PSK-D or CW.
2) The manual instructs you to turn off text display ONLY if you're going to use the K3 or P3 Utility's data terminal mode. Text decode on the radio will need to be turned on (see #1 above). 3) The P3/SVGA setup screen which is accessed via Ctrl-Alt-S on an attached keyboard is used to set a variety of settings pertaining to the keyboard aspect of the system. For example, setting the foreground and background colors for the text window on the SVGA screen. Also setting up the text transmit mode, i.e. send on Enter key press, space bar key press, etc. This controls when the text is sent to the radio to be transmitted, for example, when the Enter key is pressed, or the space bar etc. If you need additional help or have any questions, please email me directly. My email is pauls at you know where dot com.
