[Elecraft] P3 Frequency Display

2021-06-09 Thread Ray Spreadbury via Elecraft
My new to me P3 is not displaying the frequency but rather at the top has a 0 in the middle and +5, and -5 at either end if the spread is set to 10 for example. How do I get the frequency displayed please? 73 Ray G3XLG Sent from Mail for Windows 10
