[Elecraft] P3SVGA - Coming soon

[Gary VK4FD]

John,

I agree. Sharing a screen with say N1MM for example would work for me. Having it just swallow the screen is of no interest to me either and the P3 will remain OFF  my shopping list.

  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."
