[Elecraft] P3 Save SVGA state via USB

[Ken Widelitz]

I have entered a number of macros and got them working with the Genovation
keyboard per Dave, NK7Z's tutorial. I want to move them to my 2nd P3. I've
used two USB thumb drives. I select the SVGA Usav, press the select know,
the screen shows saving to USB drive, but no file appears on the drive. I
also have a USB switch to move the Genovation keyboard to the 2nd P3. That
appears not to work either. Connecting the Genovation directly to the USB
port does work. I see in the manual a note that with regard to USB drives,
"some will not work."

 

One peculiar result of unplugging the USB drive is the SVGA display becomes
upside down. That is, the "grass" comes from the top of the screen down and
the waterfall is almost solid. Cycling the power fixes that problem.

 

Has anyone discovered a particular brand of USB thumb drive that does work?
Any thoughts on why the USB switch doesn't work?
