Re: [Elecraft] P span retention
This was discussed at length several years ago. My memory is becoming increasingly write-only and I don't remember the exact outcome of those exchanges, but I think I recall that the SPAN is preserved, however the center frequency depended on how the band change occurred. I do know that once I understood how it was designed, mine has stayed stable. 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Washoe County Jim McDonald wrote on 8/12/2022 7:35 AM: I have the span "sticking" at 30 kHz when I change bands, but the center frequency is changing with the P3 in fixed-tune mode.

[Elecraft] P span retention
Not a new question, but I don't remember the answer. I think the P3 should remember the span and center frequency on each band, but my P3 is forgetful.
