Hi Mike, Toggling between fixed tune and tracking mode is certainly faster and more predictable than anything I've found as a work around. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try.
Since I'm not always contesting, I'd like to find a way to make the P3 cursor be well behaved without using a macro from a connected computer. If I could assign a macro to a P3 FN key, that would be a great general solution. Thanks for the toggle suggestion, Mike; it's a good one. 73/Gary W2CS > >I can't say that I have experienced your spotting situation but I would >like to describe a different way of getting a signal into the center of >the P3 screen in Fixed-Tune mode.
