Elecraft P3 - Fixed Tune Mode

[Ed Gilliland]

I am unable to put the P3 in "Fixed Tune Mode", the display remains
constant and the VFO A cursor moves across the display.

I'm sure that I have something configured incorrectly but haven't been
able to discover the error.  I have a RS232 cable from the P3 PC port
and a RS232 port on the PC and a cable from the P3 XCVR port to the RJ45
connector on the K3s.

Any help would be appreciated.

My guess would be that you don't have it connected to the K3 serial port
correctly. If it isn't getting frequency information, it has to stay in
scrolling mode.

I think that's the way it's supposed to work in fixed-tune mode. The
display stays at the same frequency and the VFO moves across the display
as it is tuned.

By contrast, in tracking mode the VFO always stays at the center of the
screen and the frequency of the display changes to track the VFO as it
is tuned.
