I use 1920 X 1080 on a 22" monitor, and it looks great.

P3SVGA Video/FFT option in NOT a "VGA card" This is one of the most common 
misunderstandings about Elecraft products, partially a result of an 
uninformative Elecraft web site, poor marketing and a poor choice of part 
number that reinforces the widespread misunderstanding about the functionality 
of the P3SVGA option. 

The P3SVGA 2048 point FFT processor provides much higher frequency resolution 
per dot on a larger screen. The P3 built-in display has a
480x272 resolution while the P3SVGA resolution is 1440x900. 

N6TV's web site is far more informative than any P3SVGA performance related 
information available on the Elecraft web site. See slides 11 and 12:

Re: [Elecraft] Found: P3

2020-02-18 Thread George Thornton 
Concur that a standard computer VGA card will not work here.  On the other had 
if you are referring to a pre-owned Elecraft SVGA option card that you buy used 
on the market I don't think that will be a problem, I am not aware of later 
generation cards and most of the feature upgrades are in firmware anyway.  If 
that is what you are thinking you might want to make sure by calling Elecraft.

The SVGA option works with almost any monitor for sale today that has a 
standard VGA plug connection.

While you are at it I would speak positively about the tx monitor option.  I 
have found that really useful to quickly verify my transmitter is operating 
properly and the microphone settings are ideally configured.   

I use my K3/P3 combination a lot in Field Day.  Things can go wrong in this 
setting, including disrupted antenna feed lines and antenna malfunctions.  In 
addition with multiple operators using the equipment you don't' know if someone 
has altered settings in some manner.  With the TX  monitor equipment you 
visually see what you are doing with every transmission.  You catch something 
going wrong immediately and can move to correct it.You also know if no one 
is responding to you it is more likely due to band conditions or who is out 
there rather than your equipment.

The SVGA option for the P3 is not a normal computer type VGA card.  You need 
the option designed to use the signals in the P3.

Re: [Elecraft] Found: P3

2020-02-18 Thread Phil Hystad via Elecraft 
The videos are excellent.  Ben Eater is one of the better teachers of digital 
electronics (especially to a philistine such as myself) on Youtube.  I built 
his 8-bit computer project almost two years ago and I am in the process of 
building the 6502 computer project (yes, my own Apple-1).

Even though you may not plan on building your own VGA (which Ben refers to as 
the world’s worst VGA) you should watch the videos to understand how Ben 
teaches an how VGA signals work.

Good link! I could absolutely do that if I wasn’t working full time and earning 
a masters. I’d not get the keyboard functionality with a DIY card. 

I’m just not wanting to pay full retail for a legacy option (although I’m 
excited to get my P3 and VGA card). 

I’ll be picking up my P3 this week.
