Hi Knut,

Just a little clarification for those who may not be familiar with the 
details of the P3/SVGA:

The P3/SVGA combo is used independent of a computer. The monitor 
connected to the P3/SVGA *may* be the same monitor that you have 
connected to a computer -- but it cannot be used simultaneously WITH the 
computer. A switch (either built-in or external to the monitor) would 
select the source of either computer or P3/SVGA.

On the other hand, using LP-PAN/NaP3 *requires* A computer (with a 
decent sound card) and monitor -- though it does not have to be an EXTRA 
computer and monitor, as you demonstrated with your screenshot showing a 
variety of ham radio applications running alongside NaP3.
