Re: [Elecraft] P3SVGA Option - Split Screen?
Ted, The SVGA option for the P3 requires a dedicated monitor screen. It cannot be shared with the output of a computer. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/8/2014 7:43 AM, Dauer, Edward wrote: I am thinking of adding the SVGA option to my K3-P3.

Re: [Elecraft] P3SVGA Option - Split Screen?
Hi Ted, I don't have split screen but I do have my external monitor running dual purposes. Most LCD monitors have double or triple inputs these days. And many PCs have 2 or more video outputs. You hook up the P3 SVGA card to the VGA input of the monitor and you hook up the DVI monitor input to the DVI output from your PC. (Your primary PC monitor would run off of the VGA output of your PC). My monitor has a button on the front that allows it to be quickly switched between the VGA (P3) and the DVI (PC) inputs. You would want to avoid a monitor that does not have a dedicated button. And while I am an electrical engineer I think I explained this in layman terms. 73, Mike K2MK Dauer, Edward wrote > I am thinking of adding the SVGA option to my K3-P3.

Re: [Elecraft] P3SVGA Option - Split Screen?
You know what I would buy in an instant? The P3-SVGA card but without the P3 chassis. If that was available as an add-on to the K3. Bring-your-own-display sort of an option. Have a VGA or dvi or maybe even HDMI (much smaller) in the back of a K3. Is that possible?

Re: [Elecraft] P3SVGA Option - Split Screen?
I wanted that from the first. My suggestion was effectively a P3 with no LCD screen but that required an external monitor.
