Re: [Elecraft] P3 -- Span slow to update

2013-04-27 Thread tomb18
Hi I noticed the same behaviour recently as we'll. In addition, it appears that sometimes the p3 will not issue a qsy either from the hardware or via software either. It seems to happen when there is a fair bit of rs232 activity to the k3. Ill look at this in more detail in the next couple of days

Hi Dan, When you upgraded the P3 firmware to 1.20, did you also upgrade the SVGA firmware as well? To ensure this happens, download and install the latest version of the P3 Utility which can found HERE http://I:\Private\n6hz\source_backup . If you ever want to go back to an older release

Such support! No fewer than three messages were waiting in my Inbox this morning with P3 firmware 1.09 almost completely unsolicited (I'd only mentioned that I couldn't find it on the FTP server). Thank you so much! I'll now be sure not to lose it. Heh! 73, de Nate, N0NB -- The optimist

Didn't mean to sound insulting if it did. I was trying something new the other day and noticed my P3 was verrryyy slow to update and discovered the baud rate on the P3 was still 38400 but the K3 was a much slower number. Scared me at first until I realized my error. Art - N4PJ On Tue, May 8,

I verified the K3 to P3 link is set to 38400 and the SPAN adjustment was still quite slow. So I have reverted back to FW 1.09 and the SPAN adjustment is once again fast as I'd gotten used to since September. After loading 1.09 the K3 to P3 link remains at 38400. Let me ask this, after pondering

A couple of weeks ago I updated the P3 FW from 1.09 to 1.16 and while I've not noticed any improvements since I don't have the SVGA board, I have noticed that the SPAN adjusts very slowly now. Before the update it adjusted about as fast as the knob was turned but now I can overrun it quite easily
