[Elecraft] Mouse and P3 SVGA

[John Dolan]

Yes, the mouse interaction would be a nice addition to the P3.  I have
enjoyed having the P3.  It has been more than adequate for my operations
and I like having the transmit monitor.  Before I got the P3 I used the
SDRPlay with a Minix Windows computer and a 7 inch monitor mounted into a
speaker cabinet.  The setup worked great most of the time but there were
some issues occasionally.  I decided to go with the P3 for transmitter
monitoring and ease of operation.  I have never looked back.

I second that the small screen is more than adequate and the larger screen not 
necessary for operation.

I like the bigger screen because it is useful when there are observers.  I run 
the GOTA field day station and it is great for training a group.

I second that. Having tried a couple other panadapter solutions I found the P3 
to be the most reliable with the least amount of hassle. The one shortcoming in 
my mind is using the tiny knob to QSY... Full mouse support would be welcome.
I've found that the small screen works better than anticipated, so have not 
added the SVGA option. Maybe someday.
Another worthy contender is the built in SDRPlay support in Win4K3 Suite. It, 
too is pretty much plug and play, and gives you the point and click mouse 
support. I have mine connected to the IF output of the P3, and can use them in 
tandem when desired.

I also appreciate the options available for the P3.  I use the SVGA feature and 
a monitor to enhance audience viewing at my Field Day station.  The TX monitor 
has also been useful in viewing and diagnosing transmission signals as well as 
better visualizing SWR and power output measurements.

Re: [Elecraft] Mouse and P3 SVGA

[George Thornton]

I have tried other computer based panadapters and I now have the P3 with SVGA.

I found that mediating through a computer using a sound card creates 
configuration issues and results in occasional operating headaches.

By contrast, the P3 is specialized hardware and connection is more reliable and 
consistent.  I spend less time fussing with equipment to make sure it is set up 
correctly, and more time actually working with the spectrum images on the 
screen.

I have not used a full SDR radio.

I did find clicking with a mouse to change frequencies was helpful, but the 
convenience and reliability of the P3 to me far outweighed computer based 
panadapter solutions overall.

I also appreciate the options available for the P3.  I use the SVGA feature and

> Do you suppose we will ever be able to use the mouse with the P3 and SVGA

(first requested August 2009 and once every few months ever since)

The P3/PX3 already supports USB HID (Human Interface Device).  The firmware
currently receives and ignores mouse reports.

Note: The K-Pod is HID-compliant.  In addition to P3/PX3 mouse support, you
may want to request K-Pod support.

[Elecraft] Mouse and P3 SVGA

[STEPHEN R]

There is a lot of room in the P3 box. Put a small microprocessor in there that 
would control a mouse. Why not? Sure would make the P3 and SVGA work better. 73

There are a large [possibly infinite?] number of ways to "do" most 
everything.  Driving faster than light may be one of the exceptions.  
Doing them profitably over a sufficient period of time is another 
difficult challenge.
