I see. That will be very useful. Now all I will need is a save/restore function for the center frequency and the span. I use fixed mode and have set up those parameters differently for each band. For example, on 18 MHz I have the center set to 18.084 and the span to 32 kHz. That gives me a fi

The #RCF+002500 command moves the P3 center frequency to 2.5 kHz above the K3 VFO A frequency. It works in both tracking and fixed-tune mode, except that if it places the VFO cursor off-screen in fixed-tune mode, the P3 may automatically change its center frequency again to keep it on screen,

It looks like you are setting the span to 6 kHz. Then what exactly does #RCF +002500 do? I'm thinking this only works in tracking mode, not fixed mode -- correct? 73, Vic, 4X6GP/K2VCO Rehovot, Israel http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ On 27 Feb 2016 21:09, Dave Cole wrote: A new command will be incorp

A new command will be incorporated into the next P3 software release-- RCF. This new command allows one to move the P3 CENTER frequency around on the P3 screen, via relative moves, as opposed to the current absolute moves now available  What can this do for you? In the macro below: SWT13;SWT

Having the LP-100A on the antenna side is by design. I'm not much interested in monitoring the antenna VSWR in real time, but I do want to know the power being delivered at the tail end of the station RF lineup. The "light show" on the KAT500 and the KPA500 (if it's being used) as well as the i

I had a similar problem -- even at low power levels, the W2 would periodically spike a high-SWR and even show 2-3 bars of SWR when no signal was present. I swapped out the 8-pin cable connecting the sensor to the W2 and the problem went away. I re-crimped the connectors on the original

Randy, If your LP100A is on the antenna side of your KAT500 then you are putting your LP100A in the region of higher SWR if your antenna is not close to resonance. I think you would want to put your LP100A in the inboard side of the KAT500 so that you are properly showing the “tuned” SWR on th
