Re: [Elecraft] P3 Query

David, 

Simply press the MENU button on the front of the P3, then using the SELECT
knob, scroll through the menu until you get to "VFO CURSOR TYPE" .  Then
press the SELECT knob in to toggle between U and BAR . 

73, 

Paul

Menu - Cursors.  Tapping select will toggle between the vertical bar
and "U" cursors.  IITM!

K3, but it is now just a colored bar at the base line of the trace, with
small vertical edges to show the width of the passband.

He would like the full vertical bar back again, and cannot recall what he
pushed that changed it from the way it was when I was last at his QTH.

I know I am not too bright, so it is probably right under my nose, but I
can't find how to change that back to the vertical bar.

Any help is appreciated.

You want exactly the opposite to see weak signals. The scale setting is 
the DIFFERENCE between the top and bottom of the display. 150-180 dB is 
very INSENSITIVE. You want a very SENSITIVE setting, but no so sensitive 
that it gets blown away by big signals and noise. I usually set my scale 
at 42 dB for contests, where there are a lot of very strong signals, and 
at 24 dB for routine operation.  I find that 24dB shows weak signals 
that I can't hear  It's VERY important that AVERAGING be ON, and set for 
it's highest setting.

A scale of perhaps 12-18 dB is about as low as I would go for showing 
very weak signals.

[Elecraft] P3 query

2012-10-13 Thread Ross Biggar
I use my P3 for weak signal work.
Is it possible to expand the scale, so say 150 to 120db is what I want to see, 
rather than 150 to 90?

Thanks
Ross
