P3 lower half (waterfall) is sporadicly cleared and rebuild (Slow waterfall rebuild)). I have no idea why. Switching waterfall off and the complete P3 screen is flickering (very fast rebuild). Can somebody tell me how I can avoid this? 73 Juergen DK2PG

[Elecraft] P3 minor bug in firmware ??

I have a P3 with latest revision of firmware and an SVGA card and a station monitor and a USB keyboard plugged in as well. The frequency readout on the P3 and external monitor is correct under all common operating situation when I have a “span” of, say 100KHz. However, when I use the command

Re: [Elecraft] P3 SVGA interference -

Mike, I don't think I have seen this as a suggestion so far in the thread. It is important that you dress the cables for the SVGA option exactly as shown in the installation manual. If they do not want to stay in place, use a ty-wrap around the cables. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/11/2018 12:50 PM,

Re: [Elecraft] P3 SVGA interference -

Somehow I managed to lose my last post describing the attached photo. suffice to say my Span is set for 14.000-14.104MHZ and my cursor is tuned to 14.029, but notice that the baseline noise level while near S-2 across most of the band, shows a hump back at the center of the screen and the

Re: [Elecraft] P3 SVGA interference -

I am almost overwhelmed by all the very thoughtful suggestions. Here's what I know so far. I had previously performed the idea of turning off all items in the room except for the radio and P3, but the reported symptom remains. I then switched my antenna switch to the grounded position, and the

4:49 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] P3 SVGA interference - I have the P3 attached to a HP 23" flat screen. I power off the external monitor and still have the issue on the P3 internal monitor. I power off the monitor on two PCs in the room and power off the flat screen TV in the room. Still n

[Elecraft] P3: Feature request

Hi there Elecraft programmers, Feature request here... Would it be possible to add a user controllable switch in the P3 setup for the Transmit monitor, which allows the numeric SWR and POWER reading to be held, as opposed to being removed at termination of transmit? Thanks for

Re: [Elecraft] P3 SVGA interference -

I have the P3 attached to a HP 23" flat screen. I power off the external monitor and still have the issue on the P3 internal monitor. I power off the monitor on two PCs in the room and power off the flat screen TV in the room. Still no relief. I removed and reconnected all connections on the

Hi Mike, Have you tried turning your monitor off? I've never had the issue you describe 73 Frank W3LPL - Original Message - From: "mjpilgrim" <mpilg...@bellsouth.net> To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Saturday, February 10, 2018 8:32:03 PM Subject: Re: [E

Re: [Elecraft] P3 SVGA interference -

Mike, You didn't mention if you had a large monitor connected but consider that the noise you "see" may come from it or a TV your have connected. Do you see the pattern on the P3 also? Watch the P3 screen and turn the large monitor off and see if the signal disappears. Many of them do make a

Re: [Elecraft] P3 SVGA interference -

I wonder if this discussion and suggested ribbon clips address my issue. I acquired my K3 this past summer and then a P3 off of eBay shortly thereafter. I installed the SVGA adapter a couple months ago and I have a problem which sounds similar to what is described in this thread. For lack of a

[Elecraft] P3 Macros - MEM to MEM Copy? MEM Editing?

Has anyone come up with a reasonable means to duplicate a Stored Macro in the P3/SVGA? I am interested in loading 48 memories with Macros that are all over 100-characters and many of them are very similar with just a few characters different.  Because you need to type every one, this is

Re: [Elecraft] [P3] Another symmetry question

This "feature" has been commented on in the past. It appears the P3 automatically recomputes the display limits in Fixed Tune mode if the K3 frequency is changed via the RS232 port (i.e., the P3 gets the frequency change command). When I use the Band buttons on the KPA500 to change bands the

Re: [Elecraft] [P3] Another symmetry question

I think the following issue may be part of the same problem. For the WARC bands, I like to have the P3 set up to show the whole band. When I use wsjt-x to switch to 17M, the P3 changes from showing 100KHz between 18.068 and 18.168 to showing 100KHz from 18.100 to 18.200. Annoying. 73 Bill

[Elecraft] [P3] Another symmetry question

I have a K3/100.  For CW and RTTY below 10 m, I normally run a 20 KHz span with the ends of the span on even 20 KHz boundaries [3500-3520, 3520-3540, etc].  I'm in Fixed Tune mode where the span edges remain fixed and the VFO cursors move as I tune.  Tuning off the edge results in a full 20

[Elecraft] P3 “Point and Click” (again)

This is my once a year request for “point and click” functionality for the P3. Being able to quickly move a mouse pointer over a signal on the P3 and click to change frequency would be a welcomed feature. When you can’t hear half the signals that populate the local band map, being able to click

[Elecraft] P3 REF LVL adjustment

Hi All, I can set the ref lvl to say S4 on the display (Top Band) and then tune around fine but if I switch to another band then the ref lvl will sometimes change and others not. if I go through several band changes and eventually back to top band The P3 ref lvl maybe back where I left it but

Re: [Elecraft] P3 showing sigs on Aux antenna in diversity mode?

Bill, The only way I know of is to dig into the SubRX and connect its IF output to the P3. The buffer circuit is there, but is not brought out of the SubRX enclosure. I don't know of an easy way to transfer the P3 input between the main and the SubRX, but myself, I would simply use a relay
