Re: [Elecraft] P3 span changing

2021-02-09 Thread Fred Jensen

Hi Alan,

Cool undocumented feature!  Guessed that FN5="MENU".  How do I get back 
to normal ... other than powering down?  I generally do not send P3 
commands, it seems to stay in sync with the K3 by itself, but do often 
have need to see what my program is sending to the K3, or getting back 
from the K3.  I'll paste your email into my station notebook.  And, yes, 
it's in MCU 1.60

The data can fly by awfully fast when using a logging program. You can 
freeze the screen immediately after a band change by tapping the FN2

data you can choose a smaller font size with the MENU > Font feature.


I'm pretty sure that feature still exists in current P3 code.  I can't 
check this myself since all my ham equipment was recently lost in a fire.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 span changing

2021-02-09 Thread w4sc
I have observed very similar occurrences.  For example changing bands, if the 
center frequency  was previously tuned to 10.000.00 MHz with a span of 20KHz, 
then changing to another band, say 20M or 40M, then back to 30M (10MHz), the 
center frequency will briefly appear in the upper left corner of the P3 
display, as well as in the center of the display.  It then corrects, with the 
proper  LH-CENTER-RH ( 9.990.00 – 10.000.00 – 10.010.00 ) displayed.  
Occasionally the display will show   ( 10.000.00 – 10.000.00 – 10.010.00 ) and 
not correct the display. Also the FILTER BAND PASS will appear on the left side 
of the display, remaining there.   All of the communication to the P3 in this 
case is from the K3S.  I have no computer or other device connected to the 
K3S/P3.  Initiating a “CENTER” command via the P3 “BUTTON” will usually correct 
the issue……

Re: [Elecraft] P3 span changing

2021-02-08 Thread Alan Bloom
If you return to a band but at a different K3 VFO frequency, the new 
frequency may be outside the P3's span.  If that happens, the P3 will 
re-tune using an algorithm determined by the MENU > FixMode setting.


If you want to be sure the P3 frequency doesn't change you can set 
FixMode to "Static".  Then the P3 frequency range will not change even 
if the K3 VFO frequency is out of range.


It may be that some logging programs do not retain the old frequency 
upon a band change.  Even if the frequency is "wrong" only for an 
instant, that would be enough to confuse the P3 if not in "Static" mode.


It would be interesting to see what N1MM and other logging programs are 
sending to the P3/K3 on band changes.  There is a little-known serial 
debug monitor in the P3 that shows the traffic on the two RS-232 ports.  
You activate the function by simultaneously holding the DISPLAY/AVERAGE 
and FN1/FN5 buttons.  The P3 screen changes to show RS-232 traffic 
color-coded to show on which port and in which direction the traffic is 
going.


The data can fly by awfully fast when using a logging program.  You can 
freeze the screen immediately after a band change by tapping the FN2 
key.  Tap it again to unfreeze the screen.  If you want to show more 
data you can choose a smaller font size with the MENU > Font feature.

Don't understand your "follow option" question.  I run mine in Fixed Tune Mode 
which holds the span [i.e. edge frequencies] constant and the two VFO's show up as two 
vertical cursors in the spectrum display.  The cursors move as I tune, and when I go 
beyond the edge, the span shifts by the amount I've set in the menu ... I use a full 
span.  In the Tracking Mode, your receive frequency is always centered and the spectrum 
moves past it as you tune.

most prevalent when returning to a band after moving off for a Q, such 
as in NAQP's when the return is being commanded via CAT command.  In 
fairness to the Elecraft developers, it /*appears*/ that it is 
attempting to put the frequency you are returning into the center-ish 
part of the display which is not totally unreasonable.

Isn't the P3 supposed to remember the span and center frequency from 
band to band?  It seems to change center frequency even if the band 
hasn't changed, but that may not be the case.

Yes, it has been discussed, and yes, that is the case.  It seems to be 
most prevalent when returning to a band after moving off for a Q, such
