[Elecraft] P3 (+SVGA) freeze update
One observation: I too have found the newest firmware to be much better. But I had it freeze once and it didn't seem like it was ever coming back. I didn't time it but it must have been stuck for at least 10 or 15 seconds. I tapped my foot switch to briefly flick the K3 in and out of transmit, and it started updating right away.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 (+SVGA) freeze update
I have been 'fighting' P3 freezes for a long time. Mostly mine have seemed to be RFI related. I recently implemented most of Jim Brown's RFI prevention suggestions, bonding, ferrite chokes, interconnected earth grounds, pin-1 problems, etc. and they have made a big difference. The freezing is not easily reproduced, so it is hard to troubleshoot. It is really a pain when it occurs in a contest. The new FW works much better, but I still get the occasional freeze. 73 ..mike AI6II -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/P3-SVGA-freeze-update-tp7598202p7598208.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] P3 (+SVGA) freeze update
Hi Carl, I too am still experiencing occasional freezes. Typically 1 to 2 seconds in length. I'm going to guess that the improvement is on the order of 95%. I think the problem was described as the way in which the K3 tells the P3 that it is coming out of transmit. You would think that if the firmware fixed this communication issue that it would have been a 100% fix unless there was a second reason for freezing. 73, Mike K2MK Carl Clawson-3 wrote One observation: I too have found the newest firmware to be much better.
