In tracking mode, the averaging is reset every time the VFO A is moved.
Otherwise the spectrum would "smear" as you tune the VFO. So when
averaging is on, the noise increases momentarily whenever you tune. It
doesn't happen in fixed-tune mode, only in tracking mode.
Waterfall markers will be in a firmware beta release shortly.

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.
