Barry, It's as Fred said, it changes as a function of the "Rate" setting when running in the "Fixed" mode, however it does so as a side-effect of the slower screen refresh rates. I was hoping to be able to dramatically slow the waterfall to the point of it displaying 3 to 4 minutes of traces, but

Am I doing something wrong or is this just how it works? I have the P3's waterfall marker turned on. The "marker" slowly crawls down the screen toward the bottom. Moving the Select knob drags the top of the marker and the rest slowly follows drawing a snake. Cute but...huh? Question: What

[Elecraft] Elecraft] P3 SVGA Self changing tracking mode

Re the SVGA off center bug. My fix is to put the fixed/tune menu control on a function button. Just hit the button after using the center control to reset the SVGA back to default. Rick W4GE __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

[Elecraft] P3 SVGA Self changing tracking mode

Hello all, I'm seeing an issue on the SVGA side of the P3. In order to utilize the screen space more effectively I often use the CENTER control to shift my TX frequency to the left side up the display (when the DX is listening up) to show those calling on the right side of the display.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 SVGA Self changing tracking mode

More data points: I usually use FixMode set to 'static' and FixTrack set to 'Fixed tune mode'. I don't know how that factors in... It may be another cause, but by cycling FixTrack, I can get it to display properly AFTER I recenter the display to start over again. This happens consistently

Re: [Elecraft] P3 SVGA Self changing tracking mode

Hi Rick, This is a known issue and on the P3/SVGA bug list. Basically what is happening is that the SVGA does not follow the center frequency adjustment correctly. Most folks just use fixed tune mode instead of tracking mode with a movable center frequency. Kind regards, Paul -- View

Rick, I haven’t been able to duplicate what you describe. 73, Rick K6LE On Fri, Oct 30, 2015 at 8:26 AM, Rick WA6NHC wrote: > Hello all, > > I'm seeing an issue on the SVGA side of the P3. > > In order to utilize the screen space more effectively I often use the >

Thank you Paul, I'll await a fix. Rick nhc On 10/30/2015 9:41 AM, Paul Saffren N6HZ wrote: Hi Rick, This is a known issue and on the P3/SVGA bug list. Basically what is happening is that the SVGA does not follow the center frequency adjustment correctly. Most folks just use fixed tune mode

[Elecraft] P3 not communication through RS232 cable

My Pc has the svga installed when I put the kit together but I do not have a monitor installed for svga yet. I originally was able to download the firmware using the usb a/b cable and my computer. The usb a/b cable is now connected to the K3s usb port and using the lp-bridge for rig control/

[Elecraft] P3 for sale or trade for KX3

I am thinking of selling my P3 (mint condition, purchased new, assembled). Please make an offer, or if you have a KX3 to trade please let me know the amount of additional money you would want to make a trade (as well as what options the KX3 contains). Please email me off list. I will include

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Amplitude vs. K3S S-Meter

Perfectly normal. The K3(s) S-meter measures the total envelope power in whatever BW you have set. The P3 is a Fourier Transform with a multitude of "bins" across the horizontal axis, and what you see is the power in each of those bins. They sum to the same power as the K3 shows, but the P3

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Amplitude vs. K3S S-Meter

On SSB, the K3 S-meter measures the level of everything within the 2.7 kHz bandwidth. But on the P3, each display point only shows the power within a small fraction of 2.7 kHz. For a continuous CW signal, the K3 and the P3 should match. But for a signal that is spread out in frequency the

[Elecraft] P3 Amplitude vs. K3S S-Meter

Noticeable difference between the K3S S-Meter level and the displayed S-level on the P3. An S-9 signal on the K3S is seen as much less, maybe an S-3 on the P3. So its not REF LVL, not SPAN. What? David A., KC0XT, LA David Ahrendts davidahren...@me.com

That is exactly how I got V73D as well... Watching him on the P3 work people, and pre-positioning myself in front of him... -- Thanks and 73's, For equipment, and software setups and reviews see: www.nk7z.net For MixW support see; http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mixw/info For Dopplergram
