"If it is an FPGA, you will need to get Elecraft to program it."

No.  The FPGA gets loaded each time you turn on the P3.  There are different 
code images for each monitor resolution. So the uP checks which resolution you 
have selected and loads the proper code for that resolution.

If it is an FPGA, you will need to get Elecraft to program it.
