P3 CENTER button and SVGA display

k6mkf
Hi Gang,

 

I have the P3 with SVGA option and a K3.

 

The firmware appears up to date, according to the P3 Utility.

 

I've set CenterEn: ON and use the CENTER button and the P3 knob to move DX
pileups more into the center of the display.

 

When I hold the CENTER button while in CENTER mode, the P3 display returns
the VFO A green bar to the Center position, and the red bar of VFO B to the
correct vertical position relative to VFO A.  

 

However, the SVGA is hopelessly confused at this point, and the VFO A green
bar and the VFO B red bar are incorrectly positioned.

 

A power-cycle on the P3 is required to return the SVGA to normal.

 

I thought I might be getting RF into the SVGA port - but now have discovered
this happens without any TX at all.

 

Any suggestions or further things to check will be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks.

Re: P3 CENTER button and SVGA display

Vic Rosenthal
There is a bug fix in the latest beta version of P3 firmware that might
apply:

P3SVGA 01.33 / 3-7-2016

* Center Frequency in Tracking mode:  Fixed an old bug that caused the
VFO A cursor to reset to center of screen when VFO A was tuned after the
user had adjusted the center frequency offset using the CENTER function
in tracking mode.
