Guess I don't understand what all the fuss is about. In standard mode,
there are two cursors on my P3 - one green and one sort of purplish (I have
a partial color blindness, but there is a distinct difference between the
two cursors, even for me).
Even if you're not operating in SPLIT mode, when
With the sub-receiver engaged, split engaged and the difference in

there would be a huge need for anything else - at least anything else
relating to the P3/K3 functionality that already exists.
When split, RIT or XIT is engaged
Thanks Joe. I hadn't noticed that. I seldom use RIT/XIT when working split,
but I played with that to demonstrate what you're saying.
Didn't realize the cursor actually changes color (on VFO B/SubRX) from
purplish to red - I just knew it was quite simple to distinguish the diff
between where I
Hi Stewart,
As I am not familiar with the P3, and I do not know how many markers are
available, but if several markers are available then your suggestion if
followed would remove a lot of mental arithmatic during a DX pileup. I use
my Perseus as a panadapter, and it displays the frequency

Hi Geoff,
I seem to have muddied the waters by bringing Split into the cursor delta

Ah, here it is (page 54 of the manual):

Depending on your operating habits, that can be a good reason to not
enable QRQ.

Oops, you're right. Just tried it. Oh well, I never use those things anyway.

Good thought Stewart!
I had been thinking of this new feature for a while now but you gave it
wings.
The frequency difference on the display between the cursor and the
marker(s) or, between the markers would be a most welcome addition
Thanks and 73. Bob K7HBG
With a high proportion of operating now involving 'Split' it might remove
the mental arithmetic involved, and help to reduce the number of Up Up's

You can enable/disable the VFO B cursor with the VFO B
You can enable/disable the VFO B cursor with the VFO B menu item.
Yeah, but then it's either always on or always off, neither of which I want.
And tnx for the hints on MKRA and MKRB.

Hi Ralph,
The violet VFO B cursor is present whether the sub RX is on or off. As
another poster commented you can turn it off with a menu change. And I
suppose you could set a FN button up to do it if you prefer.
I also prefer fixed tune and rarely use tracking mode.
I don't use the markers.
If you turn the VFO B menu item OFF then the VFO B cursor is not displayed,
unless you
turn SPLIT on. In that case you DO get the cursor.
Is that what you want?

Since loading beta version 1.08, I've noticed that the SSB cursors get narrower
with the passband shift settings, but won't go to the left of the center line
in USB and the same holds true for LSB. I don't remember the U shaped cursors
doing this before. The CW cursors will move either side
I regressed to 1.05 and it still has the same problem. Took it all the way
back to 1.00 and the cursors follow the shift and width settings properly.
Alan, you might want to look closely at where this went awry between version
1.00 and 1.05 as it was carried over into 1.08 and since I

That is the correct behavior. Adjusting the shift will not move the
low frequency (audio)
That was changed in 1.05. From the release notes:
* The displayed VFO cursors are not allowed to straddle
the suppressed carrier frequency in SSB, CW and DATA A
modes, to more-closely match actual K3 operation.

hi folks,
just preparing everything for the IARU-region 1 UHF/SHF-contest
(10/2-3).
While testing I was not able to set the P3's cursors beyond 200 MHz.
Anybody show me the right way to exceed this frequency limit please.
I'm sure this must be a software bug between operator's ears.
