[Elecraft] [P3 SVGA] Has anyone seen garbage in the waterfall display?

[Hisashi T Fujinaka]

Aha. Things look quite different on both monitors, and as George Danner
pointed out, SVGA bias can be turned down to amke the display on the
SVGA look the same as on the internal monitor. Default is 9.9, I think,
and I turned it down to 1.2 at his suggestion.

Of course, my REF LVL needed adjusting as well.

Thanks for the help.
