[Elecraft] Got external Monitor running on P3

[David Cole]

Hi,
I thought I had it, got a private email suggesting that I press and hold
the TEXT DECODE button, which returned the lower K3 display, but
unfortunately also removes the decoding from the external display.  Kind
of a cool display!  

I think you are correct, the stock display is just really good.
