Hi all, Can someone please enlighten me about how MKR A and MKR B work in the P3? My software in both units is current.
I've just turned on the K3 and P3. VFO A is on 20m, and VFO B is on 40m. On page 6 of the manual, it says that MKR A controls VFO A, and MKR B controls VFO B. But I haven't turned MKR A on yet, so the display shows the center freq display for 20m without a marker. Now I tap the MKR A button, and the cyan marker comes on. Fine so far, and MKR A allows me to QSY by tuning and tapping the rotary knob. Then I tap the A/B button on the K3. The rig shifts to 40m display, and the marker remains cyan. What I expected was, since MKR B controls VFO B, there would be no marker because I haven't activated MKR B. And I didn't expect to see MKR A at all because this is VFO B. Sometimes when I have changed bands, and moved the marker to QSY, it takes two taps of the rotary knob before the frequency is changed, other times only once. And sometimes the marker frequency changes to the new band freq and sometimes not. What I'm saying is I am continually surprised at how the markers work, but I can't figure out the pattern. To me, any function should be consistent and repeatable, so I'm missing something very basic. When I asked support how the markers are supposed to work, all they said was read the manual. That's what got me in trouble in the first place. So enlighten me, ye Marker Gods who have figured this out. I can't figger the logic. 73, John W9LHG ______________________________________________________________ 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
