I get that too, but usually just for 2 or 3 seconds and sometimes not at
all.  I have never got my head around it, but I think it got worse after
fitting the SVGA board.  That leads me to another 'feature', in that the
SVGA screen will occasionally do a complete refresh of the waterfall,
without me touching anything else such as the VFO.  It's as if a buffer
which is much bigger than the screen data is being flushed, leaving no
history in the waterfall at all.

I can't imagine myself being without the P3 now, however!
