K3 "REV" button and P3 center frequency freeze

[Smith Bradford]

  If I push the "REV" button on the K3,  the displayed center frequency
on the P3 freezes.  The K3 responds correctly,  that is,  it shows "VFO
B" frequency.  And when I let go of the button it reverts to "VFO A".  
But the P3 center frequency is frozen on the K3 "VFO A"  frequency.  The
only workaround is to turn off the P3.  Kind of a pain since I use the
"REV" button to coach on the 'VFO B" while working split operation.

Current firmware is 4.12 for the K3.  And 0.37 beta for the P3.  Any one
else notice this issue?

I get something similar here. The problem only happens after pressing
REV. If you then press A/B the P3 stays on the VFO A frequency.  The P3
is not actually frozen, but it won't show VFO B until it is powered down
and then up.

For those that responded thanks,  I did a search of the archives and Al
Bloom is aware of this issue.  So I will continue to have fun and let
someone else worry about the software fix.

Hi Smith,

This has been fixed in version 04.14 of K3 firmware, which is not yet
released.  I can send you a copy by email if you wish.
