Re: [Elecraft] Medium size monitor for P3

2012-03-27 Thread David Christ
More information from the Elecraft group brain.

This too looks like it meets Doug's needs.  But now the price is down 
to $150.  They include a wall wart but I would power it off my 
regular 12 volt supply.

Way to go Bob

Good show Frank, you win the prize.  I knew if we kept at it we would 
find something for Doug.  Another example of the power of the 
Elecraft community.

I looked at the specs on these units and although their native 
resolution is lower they appear to deal with input VGA resolutions of 
1024x768 up to 1600x1200.  Looks like they should play well with the 
P3SVGA.  Another neat feature is that they will power off the same 12 
volts as the P3 and K3.  1 amp or so.  This would fit into a field 
day or emergency station.  Even the possibility of running the whole 
station off a solar panel charging a battery.

Only one downside item.  They are a bit pricey at over $200.  But 
what price happiness?

Xenarc makes a series of small 7" TFT LCD displays that have both AV inputs and 
VGA input.  The XENARC 700TSV model supports screen resolutions from 640 x 480 
thru 1600 x 1200.  This model is a 7 inch touch screen but they make non touch

Re: [Elecraft] Medium size monitor for P3?

2012-03-27 Thread David Christ
All these small monitors seem to have one thing in common.  The 
horizontal resolution is standard but the vertical is less than 
normal.  For example, instead of 1024x768 the 8,9" is 1024x600.  I do 
not see that resolution listed for the P3SVGA.  In addition, neither 
of these monitors have VGA connectors.  They connect to a computer 
with USB and there is a special driver loaded to send the video over 
USB.  I do not think there are any plans for the P3SVGA to send out a 
video signal over USB.

Unfortunately my statement still stands.  I hope someone can prove it wrong.

>>So far 10 inch or less, 1024x768 minimum, and VGA input seems to be a
>>null set.  Doesn't mean such a unit doesn't exist, but finding one
isn't easy.

I will say this.  The resolution on the P3 display is 480x272 so 
800x480 should display things quite nicely.  But that said, that 
resolution is not supported by the P3 nor the USB connectivity.

The other small monitors I found had reduced vertical resolution and 
composite input (RCA jack).  Still not compatible with the P3SVGA. 
Please correct me if I am wrong Altos.

Keep looking guys.

[Elecraft] Medium size monitor for P3?

2012-03-26 Thread k7hbg @dslextreme.com
Many Thanks Bill;

Now that's a really slick little monitor. Gotta buy one.
 I couldn't help it, my P3-vga card is coming and I defiantly needed a new
monitor but don't have much space.
 This is perfect for my purposes. Touch screen too! What a deal. I'll share
the display through a KVM switch with my micro box PC or buy another one
for dedicated  display. There goes my bank account again! ;o)

Best Regards, Bob K7HBG
