You  can set the amount of lines and Data font;

Adjusting the Tx / Rx Window Sizes and Font
Using the P3, enter the SVGA Menu ;

Press the MENU key on the P3 and rotate the knob to the SVGA Menu. Press the
knob to enter
the SVGA sub-menu

To adjust the Rx Window Size, select:
. SVGA WinR Changes the size of the receive data window, size is in lines.
. SVGA WinT Changes the size of the transmit data window, size is in lines.
. SVGA FntD Changes the font, 0 is the smallest, 3 the largest.
The combined size of the Rx and Tx windows is limited to 40 lines. The above
settings are
interdependent. For example, if the Rx window is set to 20 lines, the Tx
window cannot be
greater than 20 lines. The size of the font also affects the number of lines
available. NOTE: if
the Tx window size is set to 0, the keyboard and Tx window is deactivated.

Try running the P3 at 15v, see if it freezes up then. Mine at 15v supply and
never freezes.

I don't know if my problem is unique, but I am getting frequent P3 resets.

About every 10 to 20 min with the K3/P3 operating fine with either no data
fields showing or in the data mode, the external VGA monitor freezes, and
the P3 displays its reset notice P3 Boot Loader, Download Firmware, Ready
for download. To clear it, I just have to cycle the P3 power and it will be
fine for a while.

The new P# firmware appears to function correctly, but I would like a larger
"blue" box on the bottom of the screen to enter the text of the macro and
text files. Now they are just about off the bottom of my display with th
small text.
