P3 Display Problem

When using REV button on K3, P3 display frequency marker freezes and does not track K3 frequency change - anyone else seeing the same problem? Firmware is 036 for P3.
Only soloution is to switch P3 off and back on.

"REV" button? I can't find any "REV" button on either of my two
K3s.

Yes, that seems to be the case. Once the REV button has been pressed, the markers no longer track tuning, but remain at a fixed location. Same for both Marker A and B

I have the same problem here, well found!

Using latest firmware in both K3 and P3.

Also, it appears that the tap-to-tune function does work properly after the REV button is pressed either.

OK ... never use it with the KRX2. However, it does not cause
the P3 to stop tracking the K3 or cause the markers to stop
responding to the encoder. What I see is that activating REV
causes the P3 Center Frequency to become decoupled from the K3
... and holding "CENTER" twice will not set the center frequency
back to that of the K3.

By the way, pressing REV *also* causes the K3/P3 to stop responding
to the FA; (read VFO A frequency) and FB; (read VFO B frequency)
"get" commands from an external control (logging) program while
REV is being held. This is probably the root of the P3 "disconnect"
problem and need to be addressed.

Thanks, Dave. I confirmed the bug. You must be the first person with a
P3 to press the REV button!

Wayne and I are working on it.
