Haven't received my shipping notice yet from Elecraft on the P3SVGA, but I have loaded FW 1.11 into the P3. (Did this with the old utility before I realized there was a new one out.) and the P3 load went just fine even with the old utility. However as expected, it would not recognize the new baud rates until after I D/L the new utility.
In the new utility, the screen capture/save file works okay for me even at 115.200. I was able to save it to desktop or any other directory on the computer I tried. I am, however, running all this on an old Dell 8100 Pentium IV running Windows XP Pro. The RS-232 chain is pretty short, 2' from the computer to the P3 using the cables supplied by Elecraft for computer-P3-K3. I use Scott, N3FJP's logging programs. He doesn't support 115.2K but does have 57.6K in it (calls it 56 but it works just fine.) Screen capture is certainly a heck of a lot faster at 115.2 than 38.4 - ;) but it does appear to be jerky on the computer screen - that's just windows multi-tasking other stuff at the same time, I'm sure. Due to the baud rate limit of 57.6K in my loggers, think I'll just set it there and leave it at that. Now, maybe Wayne will eventually get around to changing the K3 itself to show the higher baud rates (unless the P3 is doing a buffer and translating the RS232 speeds down to 38.4 for the K3).
