"I would like to fix the P3 display - so it doesn't travel with the VFO tuning" Bruce W8RA
Hi Bruce: I believe this is on the "to do list". However, you can simulate very much of what you want by using VFO B (with or without the Sub-Rx). If you have the sub-receiver, here is what you do: 1. Tap A=B on the K3 twice to equalize VFO's and set to same mode, bandwidth, etc. 2. Reduce P3 scan to reasonable range (say 12-50khz) so you can see signals easily. 3. Turn Sub-Rx on. (Set volume so that you hear VFO B signals well in right ear; Turn down volume on VFO A if you like; or use "Balance" setting). 4. Now you can tune around with VFO B knob and it simulates exactly what you are asking for. P3 display stays still, and you search around listening to what you want. 5. If you want to work a station heard on VFO B, just tap A/B on the K3 and transmit. (You can turn off sub now if it bothers you). If you don't have the Sub-Rx you can still do some of this: 1. Tap A=B twice to equalize VFO's and set to same mode, bandwidth, etc. 2. Reduce P3 scan to reasonable range (say 12-50khz) so you can see signals easily. 3. Now you can tune around with VFO B knob and put the bandwidth indicator under a signal of interest. The display will not slew around. [With practice, the right scan width, and the recognition that stations like to work on whole khz numbers, you will get it spot on frequency very quickly.] 5. Just tap A/B to listen to signal (and transmit if desired). Just tap A/B again to return to previous signal. Hope this helps, Regards, John, N6JW bruce whitney wrote: > > P3 want list: > I would like to fix the P3 display - so it doesn't travel with the VFO > tuning - I don't think that is possible now?
