Another P3 freezes

Gary, W7TEA
On several occasions, I have left the K3/P3 on for a few hours to return to a P3 screen which has frozen.  Toggling P3 "power" on and off resolved it.  Then today, the FixTrack mode froze under the same circumstances.  I always use Fixed-Tune mode but it became stuck in Tracking mode.  Attempting to select Fixed-Tune in the Menu would not work until after a few reboots of the P3.  

In the archives I see that K9YC bonded the K3 and P3 chassis and I will try the same.  Wonder if anyone else has come up with a fix.
K3 v4.39   P3 v1.09

I have same versions... no issues.  Perhaps resending the firmware to the P3
will fix the issue.  Once in a while data transfers via rs232 can get
corrupted for one of many reasons.
