[Elecraft] P3: Is ther a way to move macros from one P3 to another P3?

Hi, I have 50 macros programmed into one P3, and want to move them to a different P3. Does anyone know of a way to move the macros programmed into one P3, to a different P3, not by simply retyping them into the new P3? -- 73, and thanks, Dave (NK7Z) https://www.nk7z.net ARRL Volunteer

[Elecraft] P3 info

I have just noticed that after replacing my K3 with a K3S my P3 no longer shows the center frequency of VFO A (7.234, 14.234, etc,). I cannot find any info in the manual or the Fred Katy book. Could I have miss-cabled or changed a menu option inadvertently. All other functions are normal.

[Elecraft] P3 REF LVL 160m Setting

[Elecraft] [P3] P3 CENTER frequency

I think I recall seeing a solution to the P3's losing the center frequency using fixed tune mode when changing bands. It's very frustrating to have to recenter the display after coming back to a band, especially in a contest when it wastes time. Is there a fix? Jim N7US

[Elecraft] [P3] REF LVL changes - normal behavior?

Hey guys, I am seeing this behavior on my P3 and am wondering if this is how it's supposed to work or or there is something wrong. I set the REF LVL so I am just above the noise floor and then randomly a few minutes later either the floor goes way down or way up. In other words, I adjust the
