[Elecraft] P3 and Other Windows Simultaneously

[Dauer, Edward]

Or get a dual monitor - two screens side-by-side on a single mount - if
space allows.  Several of the manufacturers make them.

Interestingly, a fellow at the Apple store here told me that the older
Macs could have two displays on the same screen one of which was a VGA
input, but the newer ones (as of three or four years ago) cannot.  He was
a sales clerk, not an engineer so far as I know, so I have my doubts.

When this question was last on the reflector someone suggested converting
the P3¹s SVGA output into an Internet signal.  Both Windows and Mac allow
simultaneous display of the browser and any other resident application.
Exactly how to do that conversion is beyond me . . . but if anyone knows
an easy way, please post it here . . .   Thanks.

Ted, KN1CBR
