[Elecraft] Optimum Monitor for the P3 SVGA?

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Alden,

It's a good question. I would suppose that it's advisable to get a monitor
with a native resolution that matches the selections indicated in the SVGA
manual. I'm not sure what happens when the two disagree. I would like to
hear from folks that have gone through this exercise. Per the current manual
the only resolutions available are:
1024x768, 1280x1040, 1440x900, and 1920x1080.

Elecraft also states in the manual that 1440x900 or less is best for Fixed
Tune Mode. I prefer fixed tune mode and I have to say that the screen goes
through a lot of gyrations when coming out of transmit or when I hit spots
from within WriteLog. If I'm doing a lot of spot jumping I'll switch to
Tracking Mode.

A common feature of monitors is multiple inputs. If your PC has multiple
monitor outputs then you would be able to use the new monitor as a secondary
PC monitor as well as a P3 monitor. If you go this way you'll want a monitor
that has front panel button for input selection as opposed to input
selection through a menu.

Enjoy your SVGA board. It really enhances the K3/P3 experience.

73,
