Re: [Elecraft] P3 SPAN Instability
My PX3 has all of the same problems. (including the REF issue which includes non-whole number values) I will try the save/reset/restore hack later. Even if this solves the issues, what's to prevent them from returning? 73, Bruce W2SE On 3/11/19 09:32, Dave Cole (NK7Z) wrote: Thanks for the info sir! 73s and thanks, Dave (NK7Z) https://www.nk7z.net Award Manager, 30MDG Grid Awards ARRL Technical Specialist ARRL Volunteer Examiner ARRL OOC for Oregon On 3/10/19 12:01 PM, Victor Rosenthal 4X6GP wrote: No, the save/restore restored everything to how it was before. 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel Formerly K2VCO CWops no. 5 http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ On 10 Mar 2019 20:57, Dave Cole (NK7Z) wrote: I have been thinking of that.
