Re: [Elecraft] P3 center frequency
FWIW: The KX3 shares the same wonky behavior. Plus inconsistent quirks about forgetting "Scale" and "Ref" settings. Esp after band/mode changes. Supporting and remembering separate settings for: CW vs. "voice" widths for "Span" would be a welcome improvement.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 center frequency
This has been discussed several times before Jim. I haven't taken the time to figure out the exact steps necessary to make it happen [come back to the original band with the center frequency offset] but it seems to be intrinsic to the design of the P3. 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Washoe County On 7/18/2020 5:10 AM, Jim McDonald wrote: Why doesn't the P3 always remember the same center frequency when returning to the band?

Re: [Elecraft] P3 center frequency
Alan: Your description may be right on, it may explain why the effect is difficult to reproduce and appears to be "intermittent," sometimes it maintains the center frequency and sometimes it doesn't.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 center frequency
Hi, Sorry, I forgot my signature. It's Tom va2fsq. I've tried this out quite a bit with Win4K3Suite, and in fixed mode changing bands always results in the correct behavior. The left frequency in the P3 display is always where it was left the last time you were on that band. Win4K3Suite issues the BN command when it switches bands. It's possible that other packages where you see this behavior do not. For example, N1MM, DXLab, actually sends the last frequency that was on the previous band. It does not issue a BN command. Other packages might do similar things. However, is this intermittent? Or does it always occur. Which application? Is it possible that you QSY'd outside the span at some point? The left frequency will then be different. So unless this is intermittent, or caused by the application, it would seem that the P3 is operating correctly. 73 Tom Va2fsq.com -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Fred Jensen Sent: July 21, 2019 8:04 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] P3 center frequency Not sure who I'm talking to here, no signature, no call.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 center frequency
I have an additional problem, which is that sometimes this happens when I use the band up and band down buttons on the rig. I have not been able to understand why it only happens sometimes and not always. I have a macro set up in the Commander module of the DXLabs program that I use for logging, which checks what band I'm on and then resets the limits and center as I want them, but it's still annoying. Incidentally, for those who might be confused by the whole issue, it applies to using the P3 in FIXED, not tracking, mode. 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel Formerly K2VCO CWops no. 5 http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ On 22/07/2019 3:04, Fred Jensen wrote: Not sure who I'm talking to here, no signature, no call.

[Elecraft] P3 Center Frequency
I have K3 M1 and M2 programmed to QSY up and down 5 kHz (for use during North American Sprints). K22;DN7 and K22;UP7. Moves K3 frequency up or down 5 kHz. But ... P3 Center Frequency, both Tracking and Fixed Mode, does not change. With a slight movement of VFO knob, P3 Center frequency jumps to the correct frequency. Any hints on how to fix this?
