P3 Display of split

Hi All,
I have noticed a little problem (not much) with the P3 display. I have
A K3 P3 and vga card set up as per the book and work fine until I go
from normal to split working. I achieve this with a macro on the K3. The
problem is the K3 goes into split but the display on the P3 and monitor
doesnt show the split until I move the sub rx and up it pops. Its not a
problem now I know about it but does anyone else see this or is there
something I could change to stop it.
If more details are required I can copy out the macro (Not Mine) and
give a blow by low description.

Re: P3 Display of split

If you're saying "with both VFOs on same freq, the P3 doesn't show the red band indicating that VFO B is the TX freq. " that's normal. Since both are on same freq the VFO B cursor is hidden behind the green VFO A cursor.
But I may have misread your post.

Re: P3 Display of split

Hi Bill and others,
The split macro does move the B vfo up by 1khz but this is not shown on
the display (Red band) until i manually move the B vfo even just one
digit. The prob is not data cable cons but thanks for the thought. I may
try changing the order of some of the things in the macro or even add a
delay (;). I will keep you posted

Hi Tony,

I use this macro for split and it works for me:

BW0001;SWT13;SWT13;FT1;UPB7;RT0;XT0;#SPN000060;#RCF+002500;BW0280;

BW Sets bandwidth to as narrow as possible...

SWT13 Copies the current vreq to VFO B

FT1 Selects VFO A

UPB7 Moves the VFO A up 5

RT0/XT0 Clear RIT and XIT

SPN Sets the P3 span to 6 KHz

RCF Offsets the current displayied frequency 2.5 KHz sideways
on the P3 screen moving it close to the left side of
the
display.

BW280 Sets the Recieve bandwidth at 2.8 KHz, while leaving the
transmit at minimum...

I do CW mostly so I want a small vertical line showing transmit
frequency.

Hope this helps...

Re: P3 Display of split

In reply to this post by Tony G6GLP

If you don't have the latest P3 software, this may be the cause...
There was an issue when stacking macros, whereby a macro failed in
interesting and odd ways depending-- on the previous macro command...

They would work fine if executed in the MACRO editor Elecraft provides,
as long as you did them one at a time, but if you stacked them into a
single macro, that macro would fail. See my previous post for a macro
I KNOW works with the new software for the P3.
