Re: [Elecraft] [Elecraft_K3] P3SVGA

One big advantage I see with the P3SGA monitor besides the obvious, is to have 
a 2 minute history trail in the waterfall.

I have timed it to exactly 2 minutes, and is about 4 times the history you see 
on the P3 direct.

Handy if you just came back into the shack with a coffee etc.

Looking forward to (Requires upcoming new release of P3SVGA firmware) for mcu 
1.13.

[Elecraft] [Elecraft_K3] P3SVGA

2012-03-26 Thread Adrian 
After getting my viewsonic 22 HDMI monitor back after having it fixed under
warranty I decided to put it back in service just for the P3 and leave the
ASUS to the laptop extra screen without any vga switching required and
having it all at once.

 

I must say the 1920 x 1080 res on the viewsonic was far superior to the ASUS
24 1080p, and it seemed to support the P3SGA very well.

 

Some pics it took on an au server now.;

20m is very quiet here, but the detail on the big screen showing a little
qrn spaced from the next door solar invertor etc was excellent.

OUCH hit Send before it was done.
What was missing:

If that is from the solar inverter is that the primary osc freq. Just
seems to be an odd rate.  Is it doing a DC to DC voltage change or
inverting to AC line. Either way just another noisey switcher supply...

Bob, yes it interferes on most bands 20m and higher. It looks a lot worse
than what it really is.
Originally the problem was bad, and I had to get the ACMA (Aussie FCC) to
sort the guy next door
 out and get him to fit suppression etc fitted to his setup, which was in a
newly built house.

 The manufacturer came in with a modified changeover unit, which improved
things 95%.
Even though his solar inverter had a CE stcker, if it causes interference
the CE does not make it immune from action.
The ACMA fully tested the outcome, and the residual interference you see on
the screen is not enough to bother me.
