Re: [Elecraft] [P3] Another symmetry question
This "feature" has been commented on in the past. It appears the P3 automatically recomputes the display limits in Fixed Tune mode if the K3 frequency is changed via the RS232 port (i.e., the P3 gets the frequency change command). When I use the Band buttons on the KPA500 to change bands the P3 display limits don't change -- probably because the frequency change is commanded by way of the serial bus between the transceiver and the amp. I also find this quite annoying and would like the P3 to respect my manual settings when a QSY is commanded. 73...

[Elecraft] [P3] Another symmetry question
I have a K3/100. For CW and RTTY below 10 m, I normally run a 20 KHz span with the ends of the span on even 20 KHz boundaries [3500-3520, 3520-3540, etc]. I'm in Fixed Tune mode where the span edges remain fixed and the VFO cursors move as I tune. Tuning off the edge results in a full 20 KHz shift [IAW, a new 20 KHz span]. When I change bands using BAND UP/DN, the P3 seems to preserve this configuration from band to band. The same seems to hold when I use direct frequency entry. However, when running N1MM+, typing a frequency into the call sign window will go to that frequency on the radio but will put the span edges at odd 20 KHz boundaries [3510-3530, 3530-3550] and sometimes at 3515-3535. Does anyone know how the P3 recalculates the span edges on band changes from an external control program? If I knew, I might be able to compensate. 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Washoe County __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
