[Elecraft] P3 and Other Windows Simultaneously

[N2TK, Tony]

Hi Ted,
Already have two monitors. Just ordered a 27" to replace the 19". I will use
dual inputs -HDMI from the workstation and sub-D from the P3. Will switch
video inputs to play with the P3 SVGA. I want to see if I would really use
an external video to the P3 before I come up with another option such as a
smaller dedicated monitor for the P3.
Want to see if it really buys me anything over just using the P3 as I
presently use it.

73 & HNY!
N2TK, Tony

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
