[Elecraft] P3SVGA

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the information. I haven't received my shipping notice yet but
I'd thought I'd get prepared. I found a 12V, 1.25 amp wall wart in the junk
box that seems to work well with the P3 (less the SVGA card) so I'm hoping
that does the trick when I add the card.

73,
Mike K2MK
