Al, Thanks for the reply. Regarding the reference level, the Icom always seems to simply set it correctly. I assume it is not merely remembering the level when bands are switched, but is rather computing a new floor each time. Is that a bad approach? I like having the ability to adjust the reference level and the scale on the P3, but on the other hand, for a quick look at a band in a contest, it would be convenient not to have to make any adjustments when changing bands (even if the noise floor may have changed since you were last on that band). 73, andy, ae6y ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan Bloom" <n...@cds1.net> To: "Andy Faber" <andrewfa...@ymail.com> Cc: <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Monday, September 20, 2010 8:58 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] P3 suggestions
