[Elecraft] svga big size!

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Nate,

I was intrigued by what you posted so I took a look at the back of my 2nd
monitor. I currently use it to display the VE7CC cluster program and would
like to have it do double duty with my P3. There is a VGA connector (which I
use with my PC) and a DVI-d connector on the back. There is a button on the
front of the monitor that has the shape of a monitor with an arrow pointing
in towards the center. When I push the button, the monitor goes blank and
then comes back with the VE7CC display and the word ANALOG momentarily
across the center of the display. So I suppose if I had the P3 connected to
the DVI-d port I would be able to toggle between the two.

DVI to VGA adapters are cheaply available to convert a VGA cable from the P3
to DVI. You just have to make sure you get the correct variety of DVI
adapter as there are pin variations. This would certainly be cheaper and
cleaner than using an external VGA "A-B" switch.

73,
Mike K2MK
