New second hand P3 question

Hi Group,

I have a P3 connected with VGA and TXmon to my K3.

Before this P3 i used a SDR-IQ connected to a computer and if-out to the SDR-IQ, because of the computer noise and the slow starting of windows etc etc, i wanted a P3 this is now perfect.

It works nice, but my waterfall display is very unclear it not like i was used to, is there a way to change that ???
It’s unclear on the P3 and on the VGA monitor which is 21” so it should be ok.

Next to that is it so that i was used to when i turn my dial of my K3 that the display changes immediately (i was able to tune in to a station with the display) with the P3 there is really a noticeable time between turning and moving of the display. Is this normal or should i change some settings in the P3 or the K3.

All software is the latest of elecraft.

Re: New second hand P3 question

It's unclear what you mean by "unclear". :=)

Perhaps averaging is turned on. You can turn it off by HOLDing the
AVERAGE key twice. You might also try switching between tracking and
fixed-tune modes. These can be changed via the FixTrack menu selection.

Make sure the 'waterfall averaging' function in the P3 is turned off.
