[Elecraft] Monitor for P3

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

About three years ago, I bought a cheap little 720P 15" Insignia (Best Buy 
brand) TV for not much over a hundred bucks.    They've dropped considerably 
in price since then.  Along with being an HD TV, it has HDMI, VGA, Component 
(RGB), S-Video and composite (yellow) switchable inputs.  It even has a 
TOS-LINK connector, but I haven't tried that yet.   An outboard VGA switch 
selects P3 or shack computer.  If there's any RFI from it, I've never 
noticed.

I'd spring for a TV rather than just a monitor.  They typically have more 
inputs and just a good a display.  Plus, they're great for keeping track of 
your favorite team while playing radio. A quick punch on the remote and 
you're back the spectrum display.

73, Charlie k3ICH
