Thanks, Paul. I just loaded the new beta to my P3 (no SVGA) and it all seems to be working well with K3 s/n 4668 with latest firmware. I don't have any way to check the new transmit monitor trigger level because the K3 is my sole HF rig. 73, Steve W4FMD On 8/19/2015 6:35 PM, Paul Saffren

Hi Ted, Do an archive search for the string: SVGA ribbon cable Review the posts and see if they bear any similarity to what you are now experiencing. I think the gist of the thread was that placement of the ribbon cable could be the cause of spurious spikes. 73, Mike K2MK Dauer, Edward

I have been 'fighting' P3 freezes for a long time. Mostly mine have seemed to be RFI related. I recently implemented most of Jim Brown's RFI prevention suggestions, bonding, ferrite chokes, interconnected earth grounds, pin-1 problems, etc. and they have made a big difference. The freezing is not
