[Elecraft] K3/P3/SVGA

[Jim Leder (Hotmail)]

Thanks Dick! Not the answer I was hoping to hear, but it makes sense now 
that I think about it. So, the K3 utility terminal screen is the same as 
what as seen on a P3/SVGA. I've should have thought that out, but sometimes 
getting older doesn't always make it easy.

You answered my question, but probably no P3/SVGA card/LCD in my future. 
It's pretty, but with my limited RTTY/PSK usage, not necessary to me. The P3 
does what I need it to do, and 'fits' on my desk.

73 ... and Thanks!
