I totally agree with N7US. It sure would be nice to just preserve VFO B, and
let the decode flow to the other devices.

Thanks Dick! Not the answer I was hoping to hear, but it makes sense now
that I think about it. So, the K3 utility terminal screen is the same as
what as seen on a P3/SVGA. I've should have thought that out, but
sometimes getting older doesn't always make it easy.
You answered my question, but probably no P3/SVGA card/LCD in my future.
It's pretty, but with my limited RTTY/PSK usage, not necessary to me. The
P3 does what I need it to do, and 'fits' on my desk.

The P3 SVGA doesn't do CW, RTTY, or PSK31 decoding. The K3 does the
decoding and presents it in the VFO B area. A copy is available through
the K3 serial port programmers command set, and P3 SVGA uses that TB
command. The K3 Utility uses the same K3 decode mechanism for its
Terminal page. The heavy lifting for TTY, PSK, and CW decoding is done in
K3 firmware.

Anyone from Elecraft, will the K3/P3/SVGA ever have the ability to
decode on the P3/SVGA attached big screen while NOT sending the decoded
output to the K3 VFO B area? I know it will decode to the large screen
and at the same time send that decoded text to the K3, but it sure would
be nice to NOT send the the decode text to the K3 VFO B area. I
certainly have NO idea what's involved, but it seems it might be a
firmware change.
I have been debating an SVGA add-on, since I have my K3/P3 and KPA500
pretty much loaded for my needs, but don't see any real benefit to the
SVGA card without the above stated ability.
Seems a few others have also thought this a good idea some time back,
but I thought to ask again. Is it on an Elecraft 'to do' list?
BTW, my K3/P3/KPA500 is the best ham gear I have ever owned and operated
in 50+ years of being a ham! Nothing else comes close. And, I have had a
LOT of gear!
