Aha. Things look quite different on both monitors, and as George Danner
pointed out, SVGA bias can be turned down to amke the display on the
SVGA look the same as on the internal monitor. Default is 9.9, I think,
and I turned it down to 1.2 at his suggestion.

Of course, my REF LVL needed adjusting as well.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Hisashi,

From the photo is looks like you have your REF LVL set too high. The base
signal (noise level) should be slightly below the dividing line between the
upper display and the waterfall. Press the REF LVL button and turn the
SELECT knob counterclockwise until the noise level just disappears.

The REF LVL will need to be changed from band to band but the P3 remembers
the setting on each band. Of course the level also changes with atmospheric
conditions, time of day, antenna direction, etc..

I just got my P3 SVGA card and it's just showing video noise in the
waterfall. I reloaded the firmware just to see if that would fix things,
and it did not.

I'm not sure if you can attach things to the posts on here, so a picture
of the display is at:

Any help would be appreciated.
