Re: [Elecraft] P3SVGA Use of Dedicated Monitor
Close - but it looks like a week or two later as we have just received the boards from assembly and they need to be tested and packaged in manufacturing here. Also, we are in final testing on the firmware for the SVGA.

Thanks for the reply, Eric. And, bummer!

Re: [Elecraft] P3SVGA Use of Dedicated Monitor
Ron, Yes, and in fact, the monitor *must* be dedicated to the P3VGA function (unless you put a switch on the VGA cable), it cannot be shared with the PC. The P3VGA connects directly to the monitor - no computer involved. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/14/2012 4:43 PM, KM4VX wrote: Will the P3SVGA be capable of direct connection to a monitor separate from the computer monitor that might be enabled for other uses with the K3?

Re: [Elecraft] P3SVGA Use of Dedicated Monitor
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. This assumes the P3VGA output functions like most video cards and tolerates being in/out of circuit without dropping the output. This would be helpful if you only wanted to briefly view the P3VGA output while using the computer. 73, Bill K9YEQ -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Don Wilhelm Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2012 3:58 PM To: KM4VX Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] P3SVGA Use of Dedicated Monitor Ron, Yes, and in fact, the monitor *must* be dedicated to the P3VGA function (unless you put a switch on the VGA cable), it cannot be shared with the PC.

Re: [Elecraft] P3SVGA Use of Dedicated Monitor
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.

Re: [Elecraft] P3SVGA Use of Dedicated Monitor
Or for a few dollars more, get an HDTV with HDMI/DVI input (computer) and a VGA input (P3), you can switch back and forth AND do PIP with the P3 while watching 'the game'. ;-) Add a frig and there's almost no reason to leave the shack/man cave. :D Actually lately, the price for a monitor versus a HDTV of similar size, the TV was cheaper and had higher resolution.

Re: [Elecraft] P3SVGA Use of Dedicated Monitor
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.
