Re: [Elecraft] P3: Span limits move when changing bands
I just went thru my 2 K3S's and K3 all attached to different P3's with my cable attached to the P3's comm ports and for some reason do not have the same issue. My span limits on all three have stayed the same from 6 to 160 meters. I'm using three different PC's with two of them using Windows 10 Pro and one using Windows 7 Pro. I used Dxbase to change the frequency of all three rigs from Cluster spots. Don't know why mine doesn't have the same issues. Luck I guess.. Ed..

Re: [Elecraft] P3: Span limits move when changing bands
It's in fixed-tune mode. The span window width stays constant, as it should, it's positioning in the band changes, always by +5 KHz. Another reply advised in a direct email that this is indeed a "feature" and is related to how the band change is initiated. I can't think of a reason why it would be useful but it is really just an annoyance. The P3 is approaching maturity if not already there and perhaps development and firmware updates are becoming less common. Incidentally, I haven't touched the alignment of my K2 since you repaired and aligned it after a u-processor failure several years ago, and it is still performing perfectly.

[Elecraft] P3: Span limits move when changing bands
FW: 1.60 Fixed Tune mode No SVGA Connected to K3 RS-232 serial port The "span window" on my P3 will often move up by exactly 5 KHz when I change bands. For example, on 40 with a 20 KHz span and the span window going from 7020 to 7040, if I go to another band and then come back to 40, the span will now be 7025 to 7045. Is this normal? Have I missed a menu option? It does this most of the time, sometimes the span window stays put where I left it. I think it has some connection to where in the span window the cursor is, but so far, I haven't been able to reverse engineer that. I'd really like it to retain whatever span window limits I've set for each band. 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
