I went through this about a year ago. I put out a post on the email reflectors for several local radio clubs looking for older VGA and SVGA displays that had been replaced by newer ones. Within a few weeks, I had accumulated about ten displays. I kept the best ones, gave away the rest to another ham. All were either 1024 x 768 or 1280 x, and all worked fine with the P3. I was able to make all of them quiet with my standard common mode chokes. One has a PSU that is quiet on the ham bands but kills FM broadcast. A nearly new Samsung BX2250 Syncmaster monitor that has touch-controls, has really bad RFI susceptibility -- it goes nuts and eventually shuts down with only 100W on 160M about 25 ft away, even with all the wiring heavily choked. 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
Re: [Elecraft] Monitor for P3
I bought an ASUS VS Series VS197D-P Black 18.5 5ms LED Backlight Widescreen LCD Monitor, and told the store I was going to bring it back if it was an RFI offender. I unboxed it, attached it to P3, powered up the K-Line and listened to the background noise levels up and down each band with the VS197D-P on and with it off. I found that this monitor generated no appreciable noise on any of the Amateur Bands. It's been sitting on my operating desk ever since and has been a great visual extension to my P3. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=CJru4Yyw_rsCFcQ9QgodQDQAnA http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=CJru4Yyw_rsCFcQ9QgodQDQAnA Item=N82E16824236204nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwordscm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla -_-LCD+%2f+LED+Monitors-_-N82E16824236204ef_id=UdGKrwAABHMRotwV:20140114191 449:s Item=N82E16824236204nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwordscm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla -_-LCD+%2f+LED+Monitors-_-N82E16824236204ef_id=UdGKrwAABHMRotwV:20140114191 449:s It's $88 at Newegg.com . - 73 de Mike, K6MKF, W6NAG, Secretary - NCDXC, IDXG, RRC #933, K3-P3-KPA500-KAT500 Addict, Maui -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Jim Leder (Hotmail) Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2014 7:56 AM To: Elecraft Subject: [Elecraft] Monitor for P3 Can anyone suggest a reasonable priced LCD monitor to use with the SVGA card in the P3?

Re: [Elecraft] Monitor for P3
About three years ago, I bought a cheap little 720P 15 Insignia (Best Buy brand) TV for not much over a hundred bucks.They've dropped considerably in price since then. Along with being an HD TV, it has HDMI, VGA, Component (RGB), S-Video and composite (yellow) switchable inputs. It even has a TOS-LINK connector, but I haven't tried that yet. An outboard VGA switch selects P3 or shack computer. If there's any RFI from it, I've never noticed. I'd spring for a TV rather than just a monitor. They typically have more inputs and just a good a display. Plus, they're great for keeping track of your favorite team while playing radio. A quick punch on the remote and you're back the spectrum display. 73, Charlie k3ICH - Original Message - From: Mike Flowers mike.flow...@gmail.com To: 'Elecraft' Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2014 2:24 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Monitor for P3 I bought an ASUS VS Series VS197D-P Black 18.5 5ms LED Backlight Widescreen LCD Monitor, and told the store I was going to bring it back if it was an RFI offender.
