P3 Display freeze - siloatr

[gt-i]

Hi everybody,

just to let you know:

while preparing my gear for WWDX I noticed that the P3 started to freeze
the display for about 1 second, than continues to work for 2-3 seconds,
then freezes, and so on. Very annoying to look at.

I disconnected all cables and traced it down to the
RS232-to-PC-Connection. The logging programm polls the K3 (looped thru
the P3) at 500mseconds, as all the time before.

I investigated further and realized I had an RS232-groundbreaker, a 10€
part, switched in between.
Removed it, now works again like before!

Another cheap part that lasted for less than 3 years goes into the trash
can.
