[Elecraft] P3 SVGA monitor choices
Hi all! What do you guys use for an external monitor when using P3/SVGA? I saw a video on YouTube of a guy using a small touch screen with the Lp-Pan/NaP3, but that can't be done with a P3, right? Can't really use a touch screen because there's no such functionality in the P3. So in that case that just leaves a regular monitor choices. I'm assuming wide screen (16:9) is a way to go? Any size recommendations? Just wanted to see what everyone uses and draw some conclusions based on that. Thanks a bunch in advance!

Re: [Elecraft] P3 SVGA monitor choices
Hi, I picked up a 15 Dell LCD monitor at my local Thrift store for $15. Works like a champ and I like the size. I find the 15 is about perfect and it sits on top of the K3/P3 very nicely. BTW, I actually prefer the old 4:3 aspect over the 16:9 because I think the P3 display is better having extra vertical room. 73, Rick K6LE On 4/25/2014, at 5:46 , Slava Baytalskiy sla...@nullserv.com wrote: Hi all!

Can't really use a touch screen because there's no such functionality in the P3. I'm using cast-off computer monitors -- someone upgrades their desktop, the old monitor is surplus. I had a few of these myself, and a post to the email reflectors of a couple of local clubs yielded several more. All free. Be VERY cautious about the current crop of monitors with touch controls -- one of the monitors a local ham gave me was a new Samsung BX2250 LCD that he could not use because it goes nuts when he transmits. Even running from my 12V battery, it's also a noise generator. 73, Jim K9YC __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
