I have a K3/P3, actually, have KPA500 and KAT500 too but this question is about my P3.
If I switch to 10-meters (and, there is activity on the band), the P3 shows the signals and the waterfall for about two seconds. After about two seconds, there is a change. The waterfall signal disappears and the signals almost disappear except for the stronger ones if any. Essentially, at times I have nothing but that horizontal line dividing the top from the bottom waterfall region. If the signal is strong, it does show a waterfall display. When I say no waterfall display, I mean no blue fuzzy noise color at all. So, it looks like there is a huge dB drop in signal strength, maybe 20 dB I am guessing. And, Preamp is on during this too. Antenna is a Traffie Hex Beam. Note: although I do not have a P3 for my Icom 756 Pro III it does have a spectrum display and it does not have this behavior of an apparent huge drop in signal so I don't think it is huge loss on my antenna at 10 meters or transmission cable. What puzzles me is that this change occurs two or two-and-a-half seconds after the switch and after the P3 repaints to show the 10-meter band (usually around 28.020 to 28.050 is where I operate, CW). Is this normal behavior? Can someone explain what is happening? Thanks. 73, phil, K7PEH ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
