With the P3 in Fixed-Tune mode you pick a span
(e.g., 50 kHz) and it will automatically move to
the next incremental span when you move there.
Likely Fixed-Tune will come first because a
field-test of the code was out to a limited number
of PX3 users several weeks ago. Hope so: Not my
style to carry a keyboard for use with a portable
transceiver, and my base station is usually my K3+.

OK, thank you. I still don't see why I would
use/want it.
I find (for me) what works great is to move the
A/B cursor on the PX3 to the signal I want and
tap the knob to go there.
It seems to me with fixed mode I am still going
to have to deal with display edges when I scan
to/past the edge (unless there is an automatic
new window).
I guess I can see that moving the A cursor over
the spectrum, being able to hear what you see
and not having the display have to keep up with
changes ("bounce"), might be more what my friend
would have liked during the contest this weekend
as we were also doing a radio demo for the cub
scouts.
But, I still would rather have a keyboard entry...

In fixed-tune mode the frequencies on the PX3
display stay fixed as you tune VFO A. The VFO A
cursor moves across the screen instead of always
being at the same position, as it is in
tracking mode.
