I like to have the display directly above the K3, and at that viewing distance a 15" monitor is plenty big enough to display the enhanced detail of the SVGA. A push-button VGA switch allows the smaller monitor to double as either the display for the P3 or an occasional extension of the main PC display. >Some 15" monitors have larger enclosure borders than others, that >make them higher. To keep the 15" display in the same field of view as the K3 itself, I removed the monitor stand and fitted two stick-on rubber feet so the monitor could sit directly on top of the K3. Velcro pads hold the monitor upright against the edge of a convenient shelf. >I've "collected" several of this size for $5 to >$15 from swap meets, computer store sales and Salvation Army stores, >or similar outlets. Or from friendly sysops who have upgraded their end users to larger screens but (quite rightly) can't bear to throw away perfectly functional hardware. 73 from Ian GM3SEK __ 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] Small external monitor for P3?
Tim, I have a space problem similar to yours. I found some used 15" (diagonal measurement) computer monitors that are only 11", or a bit less, high, if you remove their stand. I figure that my eyes are still young enough, so that size screen is large enough, if its directly in front of me and above the K3/P3SVGA. Some 15" monitors have larger enclosure borders than others, that make them higher. I've "collected" several of this size for $5 to $15 from swap meets, computer store sales and Salvation Army stores, or similar outlets.

Product dimensions without stand (W x D x H) 13.8 x 2.2 x 11.0 in (35.0 x 5.5 x 28.0 cm) Hth 73 kc2vmp > On Nov 7, 2013, at 16:04, Tim Cook wrote: > > Has anyone found or using a small monitor to use with a P3/SVGA?

I have limited space but would like to use the features of the SVGA adapter on a screen a little bigger than the P3. I've seen some small ones on various online outlets, but they are either VGA resolution, or use a USB connection. Don't hesitate to accept 1024x768 -- it works quite well with the P3. I'm using two such monitors, partly for size and partly because I got them free as cast-offs from other hams. 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
