[Elecraft] SVGA monitor for P3

[Jeff Griffin]

 Well Don, this whole quest started when I started using Flex radios
alongside my K3. I was running an original LP-Pan with NaP3 s/w happily for
years. I bought a fullduplex FlexRadio VU5K to use on Satellites and found
that I had problems trying to run two copies of PowerSDR simultaneously in
the same PC. As I had no room to setup another PC up here, something had to
go. It was the LP-Pan , soundcard setup. I then purchased a P3 to replace
it. The P3 is fine but I desired a larger panadaptor display for HF, but I
don't even have a lot of room for another monitor.  That's where I'm at
right now. On the advise of Tom I found an open box Epiphan vga2usb on ebay.
I made an offer of about 1/2 the cost of a new one and it was excepted. I
should have it in a few days. If it doesn't work as expected, I can give it
to my son for his gaming system. Merry Christmas...

 What I don't understand about this is why would anyone want to buy a P3
then use its IF out to drive a LP-Pan? The text decode stuff?

Jeff,

For about the same price as a VGA capture device, you may want to consider
an LP-Pan2.  Connect it to the P3 IF out and connect LP-Pan2 to a good
quality soundcard.
Running NaP3 or Win4K3 on the computer will give you a panadapter display in
a resizable window.

The text decode area of the SVGA display will not be present, but then I do
not know what you want to see from the SVGA option.

hardware and software your using to accomplish this. Thanks in advance...
