I use the Fixed Tune Mode too but the center frequency sometimes isn't remembered when returning to a previously-used band. If it makes any difference, I'm usually using N1MM+ (often with Win4K3Suite) to control the radio.

I run mine in Fixed Tune Mode which holds the span [i.e. edge frequencies] constant and the two VFO's show up as two vertical cursors in the spectrum display. The cursors move as I tune, and when I go beyond the edge, the span shifts by the amount I've set in the menu ... I use a full span. In the Tracking Mode, your receive frequency is always centered and the spectrum moves past it as you tune. 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Washoe County On 2/8/2021 2:34 PM, Dave Cole wrote: > 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.
