Re: [Elecraft] P3TXMON Bug?
It actually does go back to split screen spectrum/waterfall in receive mode. In transmit mode the spectrum display is replaced by the modulation waveform, but the waterfall remains on the screen. There are two reasons why the meters remain on the screen in receive mode. One is that it would be pretty annoying when sending CW QSK for example to have the window jumping up and down every time you key. The other is that it would require re-drawing the waterfall every time you go to transmit mode, which would lose all the waterfall data. I think many people like to be able to look at the waterfall while transmitting to see where the signals were the last time they were receiving.

Re: [Elecraft] P3TXMON Bug?
Alan, Since optional would be the idea, and that the P3 must know (or could know) what mode the K3 is in, why not make it selectable if not in CW mode? It sure seems like us folks that want it to swap in and out, are comfortable waiting a few seconds for the waterfall to update. It seems half baked to me the way it is. You already swap the modulation waveform in and out, why not the rest? Otherwise, is there a way to fire macros from the K3 to the P3 when going from TX to RX and back? Or maybe fire them from within the P3 itself? Then I guess we could do it ourselves.

Frequently the display will go to a straight line with vertical signals that are very narrow. It looks almost like it is switching to a very wide span or the time base is changing frequency. This will continue until I stop transmitting, then it will be ok for a while, then does it again. A friend is also experiencing this same bug on his P3TXMON. Anyone experiencing this same thing?
