Re: [Elecraft] P3 capture bug?

2011-12-25 Thread N2ZDB
Alan,
 
Yes it happens every time I try to capture an image from the P3!  What  
settings are you looking for?
 
I attached an image of it from my PC.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 capture bug?

2011-12-24 Thread N2ZDB
Alan,
 
I just loaded the P3 Utility on my Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium.   When 
doing a capture using the utility the capture is shown split in two with  the 
reference numbers in the middle! The bottom portion of the capture/ screen  
is also corrupted.  
 
Is this part of the same bug or a different one?
 
Also any idea when this will be fixed?
 
Will the capture ever be available at a larger resolution (like in  HD)?
 
Thank you and Happy Holidays!,

I don't use the Freeze function at all -- didn't even know about it.  I 
do screen captures directly from P3Utility.. In preparation for the 
capture, I get the capture screen going on P3Utility, then hit capture 
when I see what I want on the P3. That grabs whatever was there at that 
instant, and the P3 goes right back to normal operation after the capture.
