[Elecraft] P3 forgets set ranges in Fixed Track mode (WARC)

2014-03-15 Thread Bill Hammond
As a CW operator, I keep the P3 in fixed track mode covering the lower 50 Khz of each band. From time to time the P3 forgets the setting on the 17 and 12 meter bands only. I'm wondering if i am the only person that has experienced this issue. I can't pinpoint exactly how this happens but I

Mine sort of, kind of, does the same or similar thing although I've never noticed a correlation with operation on 10. I normally run fixed-track with a 20 KHz span starting at the bottom of each band [don't operate 17 or 24 much]. Sometimes, it seems more frequent if I've been jumping around

Bill, I’ve had the same problem with my P3. I keep the spans on 50kHz on all bands and the problem seems to occur on the WARC bands with the odd limits (17m and 12m). It may have something to do with odd splits, i.e. 17 meters, 18.068 - 18.118 is 50kHz. In the last several weeks I have been

I have noticed that my carefully setup span to cover the entire 60M band wasn't quite right when I went back to that band. I always run in fixed-tune mode as I mostly use the waterfall for locating signals. I change modes quite a bit as I am scanning the airwaves. I have noticed that the VFO
