[Elecraft] [PX3][PX3HDMI][P3] PX3 to HDMI Large Screen; and Decoded Text to Native P3 Screen

[Dauer, Edward]

Since you asked . . . 

These would not be high priority for me, though if the PX3 could drive a large screen I might make use of it.  HDMI would be the better choice.

Option number 2 – text on the P3 screen – is not important to me for two reasons.  For one, in all the years I have owned it I have never used the K3’s text decode even though I am 100% CW.    And if text did appear on the P3 screen, I wouldn’t be able to read it on that screen anyway.  Too small.

What I would have liked, had they been developed in this order, would have been an SVGA panadapter device without its own chassis and screen.  Right now my P3 is used solely to drive a large monitor.  Other than pushing its programmable buttons now and then I never look at the P3 itself.

    I've attempted to fold in the feedback thus far.  If you haven't already,
    please reply to this thread if you're interested in one or both of these new
    features.
    
    PX3 TO LARGE SCREEN
    
        Feature #1A (preferred). Elecraft to develop an internal adapter (i.e.,
    PX3HDMI) to
            connect a PX3 to a large screen through an HDMI interface.
    
        Feature #1B. Elecraft to develop an internal adapter (i.e., PX3SVGA) to
    connect a
            PX3 to large screen through an SVGA interface.
    
    DECODED / TRANSMITTED TEXT TO NATIVE P3 SCREEN
    
        Feature #2. Elecraft (Paul Saffren, N6HZ) to modify the P3 firmware to
    write, 
    
            * text decoded by the K3, and 
            * text to be transmitted / transmitted text
    
        to the P3 TFT-LCD screen (without the need for a P3SVGA).  This firmware
    change
        must continue to support the existing P3 Tx Mon (Transmit Monitor)
    option, for
        example, displaying the power output and SWR displays in place of the
    decoded
        text during transmit,
