[Elecraft] P3SVGA - Coming soon

[amsctalx at comcast.net]

"Design disaster" implies that it doesn't do what it was intended to do; it was obvious from the onset that this was an "HD" display adapter for the P3. This shouldn't be a big surprise, as the P3 is a self-contained panadapter and not a PC interface. 

You might not be interested in it, but that in and of itself does make it a "disaster".

Based on 2 responses to my query about the P3 display, I would have to 
say this is an absolute design disaster. It kills completely my interest 
in the product. I had envisioned a hardware card that would communicate 
with software running on the PC, not something that required a dedicated 
monitor. I think the product needs some serious re-thinking.

"Hi, John, the P3SVGA has it's own output connector, to connect directly 
to a monitor. It will not share the display with anything else, like 
your PC (unless some external hardware is used to accomplish this). It 
is designed to use it's own dedicated monitor. (In other words, filling 
the entire screen). 73, Bruce, N1RX"

"John, My understanding is that, similar to the Yaesu DMU-2000, this is 
not a computer application that uses a window. It requires a dedicated 
monitor or one that can be switch between the P3 and a computer using a 
switch in the monitor."
