P3SVGA Video/FFT option in NOT a "VGA card" This is one of the 
most common misunderstandings about Elecraft products, partially a 
result of an uninformative Elecraft web site, poor marketing and a poor 
choice of part number that reinforces the widespread misunderstanding 
about the functionality of the P3SVGA option. 



The P3SVGA 2048 point FFT processor provides much higher frequency 
resolution per dot on a larger screen. The P3 built-in display has a 
480x272 resolution while the P3SVGA resolution is 1440x900. 


N6TV's web site is far more informative than any P3SVGA performance 
related information available on the Elecraft web site. See slides 11 and 12:
