In tracking mode, the averaging must restart whenever you tune ... 1

In my part time repair position with Elecraft, I do not have insight

With the P3 in Fixed-Tune mode you pick a span
(e.g., 50 kHz) and it will automatically move to
the next incremental span when you move there.
Likely Fixed-Tune will come first because a
field-test of the code was out to a limited number
of PX3 users several weeks ago. Hope so: Not my

Without it you have 1/2 the screen.

OK, thank you. I still don't see why I would use/want it.
I find (for me) what works great is to move the A/B cursor on the PX3 to
the signal I want and tap the knob to go there.
It seems to me with fixed mode I am still going to have to deal with
display edges when I scan to/past the edge
When quizzed at RadioFest, Eric mentioned a few things about the
KX3. The one that stuck in my mind is that FixedMode is now in
alpha test. In its current state, you probably don't want it.
There will be a beta release RSN (Real Soon Now) as the gods of
bugs cooperate or don't cooperate.
Yes, I'm eager for that one, Bill!

I'm loving my PX3. It adds so much to the KX3 operation that I hate to be
without it when I take my KX3 portable while backpacking and hiking.
Wayne, Don or other Elecraft guys - can you comment on when we might see
the SVGA interface upgrade and the USB keyboard supported.
Also, any hope for

In fixed-tune mode the frequencies on the PX3
display stay fixed as you tune VFO A. The VFO A
cursor moves across the screen instead of always
being at the same position, as it is in tracking mode.

Yes, true and that will be nice for the PX3.
But I still want to plug the keyboard...

Possible confusion here. The VFO A and B cursors are always there in
The big advantage, at least on the P3, is that when you move the
tuning knob, you don't lose your signal averaging and waterfall
history. Keeping the waterfall makes it a lot easier to tune to
an infrequent signal, like the DX running a pileup.
I haven't tried a keyboard on the P3 since it
OK, I'll bite. I have heard a number of people talk about FixedMode.
What is it and WHY do I want it before KEYBOARD? I think I am happy
with the display now??
