Phil:
1. Are you in Tracking or Fixed Tune mode? I run in Fixed Tune [end
points of the display remain fixed and cursor moves as I tune], and
there is no change as I tune. My AVG setting is 6. When I set Tracking
mode, the spectrum display "bounces" just a little as I tune VFO A.
2. I don't have the SVGA but markers in the WF is a subject that's come
up before and I believe the behavior you see is correct.
3. You are describing a book that I don't think KE7X has written yet
but certainly should. :-) I have found limited use for the A & B
markers, and they're usually off. When I'm NCS on our NTS Section net,
I will set them for something like "down 3 and down 6." Other than
that, I really don't use them.

Recently added a P3 to my K3 station.....nice....yet questions:
1. Wonder why the spectrum display gets noisy when I tune VFO A. A few
have said that is expected and suggested that one make sure the screws
on the K3 and P3 case are tight. I'm assuming that when one tunes VFO A,
the FFT in the DSP gets lots of extra data and the display is noisy as a
result. Once I stop tuning the VFO A the spectrum display goes back to
averaging as expected.
Hm?
2. I purchased the SVGA card and it came installed in the P3......have
been successful is connecting my computer through the RS232 port on the
P3 to run both the K3 and P3 utility programs. Also the big display and
the P3's LCD are working for the most part. Ok there. Now, is it
standard for the external large display to not allow markers in the
waterfall area? When I use the P3 menu and turn waterfall markers on or
off that works for the P3 LCD. However, there is not marker shown in the
waterfall area of the big screen attached via the external display jack.
Hm? I can live with that but is that right?
3. Is anyone aware of an article on the web that goes into the "why" of
how the cursors and makers were designed to do what they do? Perhaps
things would be easier to follow then since there are a very large
number of "tap this or hold that" combinations available. I realize that
to tap or hold increases the number of actions that each switch/etc can
do, thus cutting down on the knob count on the front panel.
