Anyone from Elecraft, will the K3/P3/SVGA ever have the ability to decode on
the P3/SVGA attached big screen while NOT sending the decoded output to the K3
VFO B area? I know it will decode to the large screen and at the same time send
that decoded text to the K3, but it sure would be nice to
The P3 SVGA doesn't do CW, RTTY, or PSK31 decoding. The K3 does the decoding
and presents it in the VFO B area. A copy is available through the K3 serial
port programmers command set, and P3 SVGA uses that TB command. The K3 Utility
uses the same K3 decode mechanism for its Terminal page. The
I would like to echo Jim's request. I have the SVGA in my P3, and it's
really nice, but I don't like losing the VFO B readout when I'm decoding
RTTY. It makes no sense to have a few characters being decoded on the K3
when hundreds of characters can be on the SVGA monitor.

Thanks Dick! Not the answer I was hoping to hear, but it makes sense now
that I think about it. So, the K3 utility terminal screen is the same as
what as seen on a P3/SVGA. I've should have thought that out, but sometimes
getting older doesn't always make it easy.
You answered my question,
I understand that the K3 is doing the decoding, but does that mean that it
must be presented in the VFO B area?

I totally agree with N7US. It sure would be nice to just preserve VFO B, and
let the decode flow to the other devices.

Also when thinking about getting a P3 and SVGA card what you see on the P3 is
not what you see on the SVGA monitor if you turn on the NB. The weak
signals are covered up by the noise on the SVGA screen.
The NB works great but is not carried over to the SVGA screen.

That is because the P3 is fed from the output of the first mixer -
*before* the narrow filter, IF noise blanker gate and before the DSP
noise blanker. Of course, one can upgrade to the most recent beta
firmware an enable the *separate* DSP noise blanking in the P3 SVGA.

I tried out the CW decode functionality on the KX3 for several evenings
and I'm struggling to get very positive results. Basically, unless the
received CW signal is peaking close to s9 and the noise is s1 or less
then decoding seems unreliable. If the signal drops towards the noise
then
Having the K3 NOT display the decoded text in the VFO B area is really a
point for Wayne. I'll forward that request to him. When the P3/SVGA is
showing decoded text, it's doing nothing more than periodically sending TB
commands to the K3.
Regarding the noise blanker. If you're talking about
Using the latest beta firmware for the P3 the NB does not apply to the SVGA
screen. It only works on the built in P3 display.

The Mac Air is a laptop. properly known as a MacBook Air. It's the
'netbook' variant of the laptops.
As Far as I know, there is no way to use the internal display of a MacBook
to display anything other than the OS or an application. That applies to
anything with a display in it that Apple makes.
Why not just look at the P3 display? Don't you need that to have the P3 SVGA?
I don't have a P3.
What about using a Softrock Lite IF to a USB sound card on the Macbook Air?
The Softrock Lite is about $22 but you have to build it. You could also get a
