Hi Alan,
Cool undocumented feature! Guessed that FN5="MENU". How do I get back
to normal ... other than powering down? I generally do not send P3
commands, it seems to stay in sync with the K3 by itself, but do often
have need to see what my program is sending to the K3, or getting back
from the K3. I'll paste your email into my station notebook. And, yes,
it's in MCU 1.60

There is a little-known serial debug monitor in the P3 that shows the
traffic on the two RS-232 ports. You activate the function by
simultaneously holding the DISPLAY/AVERAGE and FN1/FN5 buttons. The P3
screen changes to show RS-232 traffic color-coded to show on which
port and in which direction the traffic is going.
The data can fly by awfully fast when using a logging program. You can
freeze the screen immediately after a band change by tapping the FN2
key. Tap it again to unfreeze the screen. If you want to show more
data you can choose a smaller font size with the MENU > Font feature.
I'm pretty sure that feature still exists in current P3 code. I can't
check this myself since all my ham equipment was recently lost in a fire.
