[Elecraft] P3/SVGA 1920x1080 Resolution Beta Firmware

[Oscar Staudt]

Paul,
  The fix works great on my 27" Asus VK728Q monitor.  Works fine in both
full screen and picture in picture.  Prior to this, I was having to use
1440 x 900.  Good work!
  The only slight complaint I have is waterfall part of the display on the
large monitor.  The waterfall brightness/visibility is rather light and
less distinct/bright than on the P3 screen.  The top waveform part of the
display is fine.

Oscar, WB5GCX
