Hi David, What are the versions of firmware in your P3 and SVGA boards? (you can find this out by connecting the P3 utility to the P3.) It sure sounds like you have some early firmware, the flattening out of the spectral trace when moving the VFO knob was fixed some time ago. BTW the SVGA is g

Re: [Elecraft] Oscilloscope Requirements?

On my bench is a Rigol DS1202CA 200 MHz/2GSa/s scope. It replaced a Tektronix that burned out it's EL backlight supply. The Rigol is a great piece of test equipment and it's pretty evident they had several Tek scopes to play with during the design process. While this is a Chinese scope, it is

Re: [Elecraft] (Elecraft) XG3 RF generator software port selection

Hi Nels, If you want to use the XG3 with a USB port you'll need to order the KXUSB cable from Elecraft. This has a USB connector on one end and a 3.5mm stereo male plug on the other. The XG3 utility DOES have the ability to change com ports. Bring up the utility and click on the PORT tab, then

[Elecraft] Your P3/SVGA Keyboard?

I'm in the process of putting together a list of suggested USB keyboards for the Elecraft P3/SVGA board and could use your help. I've got a few favorites here that work great, but it would be nice to know what you're using. Please email me directly, pauls at elecraft. 73, Paul -- View th

Re: [Elecraft] P3 SVGA Tx/Rx Window Sizes

Hi Tom, There are several factors that control the number of Rx and Tx window line counts. The resolution of the display, the height of the waterfall and the font size are the most important settings. Obviously if you're trying to use a large font (fntD=3) and a low resolution (1024x768) with

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] PSK31 Problem

Roy, One thing to try is to program a memory on the K3 to send the PSK31 and see if you're also missing characters using that method. Performing this test would help identify where the problem is. 73, Paul -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-PSK31-Pr

Re: [Elecraft] P3/SVGA Keyboard

Hi Jim, Those inexpensive adapters are passive signal converters, there is no changing of the PS/2 keyboard protocol to USB going on in there. Currently the P3/SVGA board does not support PS/2 keyboards. 73, Paul -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Re-P

Re: [Elecraft] P3 SVGA Anomalies

Hi Jim, I haven't been able to duplicate that bug, can you tell me what resolution you are using on the SVGA and if you are in fixed tune or tracking mode? You are correct in that the characters are coming over the serial port from the K3. That's why I find it strange that the SVGA could be m

Hi Howard, On my monitor it shows slightly above bottom. When the box is gone and you are not entering text for the macros, does the display look correct? In other words, is the bottom white line of the frame visible? It wouldn't be that big of a deal to move the box up slightly, however the

Hi Mike, If you look on your external display at the very bottom of the screen you should see a blue status bar. On the left it will show either rx or TX based on whether the K3 is transmitting or not. On the right there will be a small asterisk if the SVGA card detects a valid USB keyboard (Ap
