[Elecraft] P3 SVGA display problem 1920x1080

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Don,

I had read that note but it is in the current Rev D manual dated 9/30/12
which corresponded to SVGA firmware 1.10. There were two firmware revisions
(1.14 and 1.16) in 2013 each of which added additional notes on 1920x1080
monitor compatibility. Plus the last thread on 1920x1080 monitors was in
2012. That suggested to me that the issue had been corrected in firmware. I
just wanted to see if my experience was unique. 

In the meantime, 1440x900 does work correctly and it does completely fill
the screen. So it is satisfactory. The only negative is that the font size
(even at font size 0) ends up being too large. If Elecraft wants us to use
1440x900 on a 1920x1080 monitor they should probably include an additional
font that is extra small.

73,
Mike K2MK
