It happens with two different OSs and two different programs. The best place to look first is the common elements. 73 Bill AE6JV On 10/26/18 at 5:00 PM, ghyoung...@gmail.com (Grant Youngman) wrote: Why do you presume it is a fault of the P3 and not something funky happening with whatever

I have the same problem with wsjt-x running from a Mac. When I change bands, the center frequency changes. Very annoying since it moves part of the display outside of the 17M and 12M bands. 73 Bill AE6JV On 10/26/18 at 2:47 PM, k6...@foothill.net (Fred Jensen) wrote: I think that may be a

I believe I heard of this "problem" before. It needs to be addressed with the N1MM+ folks for a possible fix. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/26/2018 4:52 PM, Fred Jensen wrote: It may be a timing issue.  It only happens when the software [N1MM+ in my case] sends a frequency command.  It rarely happens

First sent this to Skip rather than the list... This appears to have been a problem from the time of the introduction of the P3. It seems to be triggered when a frequency command is issued to the radio via the P3 comm port. Is there any hope on the horizon for curing this extremely annoying

It's in fixed-tune mode.  The span window width stays constant, as it should, it's positioning in the band changes, always by +5 KHz.  Another reply advised in a direct email that this is indeed a "feature" and is related to how the band change is initiated.  I can't think of a reason why it

Skip, The P3 span is the same in both cases (20kHz). If your P3 is set to Tracking mode, you can expect that if your K3 VFO has been changed from 7030kHz to somewhat above that frequency (VFO frequency is always in the middle of the display). If your P3 is in Fixed mode, I believe it should

FW: 1.60 Fixed Tune mode No SVGA Connected to K3 RS-232 serial port The "span window" on my P3 will often move up by exactly 5 KHz when I change bands.  For example, on 40 with a 20 KHz span and the span window going from 7020 to 7040, if I go to another band and then come back to 40, the
