Hi, George. I reported a similar problem here on the reflector in early December:
----- I am using a P3 with the SVGA option. It is connected to a K3. I find that frequently after transmitting -- particularly calling a DX station in a split-frequency pileup -- the P3 display comes back sluggish or almost frozen for up to 20 seconds or so. Then it returns to providing real-time information. It's almost like the P3 is suffering from data overload, finally processes it, and gets back to normal. This is particularly annoying as one cannot spot where the DX is listening in said pileup because the screen is essentially frozen and does not display stations real-time until it "unfreezes". This happens regardless of mode (CW, SSB or RTTY). In RTTY this "freeze time" also locks up the USB keyboard. The problem does not appear to be RFI related, as I get it regardless of the power output level. ----- This may or may not be your situation. It only seems to occur in fixed-tune mode. Elecraft (Howard and Paul) responded that they were able to duplicate the problem, but I have never heard a resolution other than to use tracking mode instead. As you say, this is very annoying and makes operating RTTY a chore. I've since started using a different rig, in part due to this issue.

Sometimes the external monitor locks up, sometimes both. I can usually get it running by turning the P3 off and on. This happens fairly frequently and can be quite annoying. The impression is the P3 SVGA is overloaded and can't keep up. The software is all up to date. Everything else seems to be working just fine. Any help would be appreciated. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
