[Elecraft] P3 + VGA response

2016-12-06 Thread Vic Rosenthal 4X6GP
I like to narrow the span on my P3 to a few kHz when trying to break a split pileup. But I notice that the response of the VFO B marker to the VFO B tuning seems relatively sluggish in this case. It especially seems that way when viewed on the large display provided by the VGA card. This makes

Hi George, I have to agree with Tom on this one, either suspect drivers, or some as yet undiscovered conflict running on your PC. The slowdown you describe is a dead giveaway. That the dying program sends some garbage to the K3 as it expires is irrelevant. Whatever the program/driver is the

Honestly, I don't believe this is an issue with LPBridge but rather Eltima drivers. I can run the Eltima serial port monitor and even without traffic it will always crash after a number of hours. Always. There is not much that can be done other than rebooting after some time or closing it all

Ed, RIT will not help either, the pitch will still be at the peak of the passband. Now if you are only wanting to move it several tens of Hz, it will not make much difference - in other words, a properly aligned 700Hz passband centered at 580Hz will extend from 230Hz to 930Hz, but a 400Hz
