P3 Beta v1.05 anomaly?

Since installing version v.1.05 beta firmware in my P3 I've noticed
that any function I assign to the FN7 HOLD key gets erased whenever
the P3 gets powered-off. FN7 TAP assignments, as well as all other
function key TAP or HOLD functions, are not effected by powering
off. Anyone else see that?

73, Gene N9SW

No problem with that here.

Since getting this, I just checked mine and no anomaly here, all function keys retain whatever function was assigned prior to power off.

Gene,

I don't see it. Perhaps the firmware needs to be reloaded. Could have been
corrupted during update from any number of things. I have had that happen a
couple times in the past, not with P3 but with my W2.

Gene, if you haven't done so, write down your menu setting then do the
parameter re-initialization as per Page 26 of the current Manual on the
Elecraft Website.

I had the same problem as yours, plus a whole lot more, when I did a
download of 1.05. They all went away with the parameter reset (a suggestion
which came from Alan N1AL) and my P3 has been stable ever since.

That is a simple procedure that probably we should all remember exists. I
unnecessarily fought with my P3 for 48 hours during ARRL DX CW contest
because I had forgotten that a potential fix was easily available to me.

73,

Gary, VE1RGB

One bit of clarity would be for posters to identify whether "off" is done on
the P3 button, or done by turning off the power supply. 73, Guy.

Thanks to those who responded to my post regarding power-off loss of
stored hold function on FN7 with v1.05 P3 firmware. A parametric
reset solved the problem. For the record, the event occurred when
powering off from the P3 alone or by using the K3.
