[Elecraft] SVGA Screen save to memory stick

[Mike Flowers]

I have successfully captured a P3 screen image.

Elecraft P3 Utility > Capture Image Tab> Capture Image button - this captures the image then displays 'Bitmap copied to Windows Clipboard' - then paste from the Clipboard into Paint or other app and save in the image format of your choice.

My P3 manual states:  "Connector openings {16}, {17}, {21}, and {22} are provided for future use."   I think #22 is the USB port on the back of the P3.
