Hi Fred, I use Fixed-Tune mode exclusively and I have never experienced the runoff you described. As soon as about half the VFO-A cursor disappears the screen refreshes with the cursor on the opposite side.
On a mildly related subject, I'm aware of two ways to center the VFO-A cursor in Fixed-Tune mode without using the P3 knob. The first way is to hold the Span/Center button two consecutive times (hold-hold). The other is to set up one of the four programmable buttons (FN1-FN4) to change tracking mode. The button label will read FixTrack. Press it once and it changes from Fixed-Tune mode to Tracking Mode and the VFO cursor jumps to center screen. Press it again and your back in Fixed-Tune mode. So it's a push-push operation to get the cursor to center screen and return to Fixed-Tune mode. You can also have a K3 button perform this operation as a macro. 73, Mike K2MK k6dgw wrote > I run my P3 in fixed-tune mode.
