Yes it is possible to have multiple 'windows' open on a large monitor. You will need a svga to hdmi converter to take the signal from the P3 to a video multiplexer box which uses multiple hdmi inputs. You can set it for various configurations of the display screen depending upon the video box.

This weekend I had my large monitor hooked to my SVGA output on the P3 for the Special Event Station at NVCON. The ability to show off more features of the use of a panadapter to all of the folks who stopped by really helped. I could see a better color spectrum on the FT8 signals and the RTTY

Hi, The SVGA schematics were missing at http://www.elecraft.com/manual/P3_svga_D_sch.pdf... I was trying to see if the 5 Vdc was available at the keyboard port to drive a SVGA to HDMI converter or if it needed to be turned on in software. I could not find this information in the manual. Other

I definitely would like to see mouse control for the P3... The current buttons and especially the rotary encoder are stiff enough so that the unit moves when they are pushed. With a mouse controlling these features the unit is not touched. A USB port to allow the use of a wired mouse or a dongle
