There are apparently some issues with the P3 firmware retaining the frequency and center by band.
I reported one issue where the P3 would return to an entirely different band than the one commanded. The head of FW for Elecraft confirmed this is a bug that needs fixing. When that will happen, if ever, is anyone's guess with the K4, pandemic, etc. In macros I write to change bands and frequency, I find that I must issue P3 commands twice to have the P3 properly centered as I want it. I issue the first set of P3 commands at the beginning of the macro string, and the second one near the end. This works for me, so I no longer worry about this FW bug. - 73 and good DX de Mike, K6MKF, NCDXC Secretary > -----Original Message----- > From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net <elecraft- > boun...@mailman.qth.net> On Behalf Of Dave Cole > Sent: Monday, February 08, 2021 14:34 > To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] P3 span changing > > How does one set the follow option, I just looked through the menu of the P3, > and don't see it. > > 73, and thanks, > Dave (NK7Z) > https://www.nk7z.net > ARRL Volunteer Examiner > ARRL Technical Specialist, RFI > ARRL Asst.
