P3 0.50 firmware

[Ignacy]

I like the fixed interval with the VFO cursor moving. Also calibration in S units instead of db. Very neat and changeable if one needs something else.

Two questions.

The CENTER button works but only after second press. Is this intentional?

The panadapter is affected by pulse noise even if NB in K3 seems to eliminate the noise completely. Then weak stations are not visible even though they are good copy with NB. I wonder whether NB can be added to P3. NB is very effective in SDR-IQ under Spectravue.

On the first press you're adjusting the center frequency.  On the second
press it sets the CF to the VFO A frequency.

I want to try adding a noise blanker to the P3.  It should be possible.
It's only software.  "=)
