P3-Fixed-tune mode anomaly

[k6dgw]

P3, no SVGA, FW 1.20

VFO A cursor goes off the edge and the display does not reset to the
next segment.  The "Cursor Is That Way" arrow appears.  Tuning back into
the displayed segment gets the cursor back.

If, while cursor is off the display, I change bands and then come back,
all is well.

Example:

SPAN=50KHz.  VFO A=14.030.000, left edge is 14.000.000, right edge is
14.050.000

Tune up to 14.061.000  VFO A cursor goes off the right edge and arrow
appears.  Left and right edges of display are still 14.000.000 and
14.050.000

It is not repeatable.  It is not band-dependent.  It may be correlated
with how fast I tune past the right edge the first time, but once it
happens, the display range stays fixed and I can move the cursor off the
screen at any tuning speed.  I've never observed it off the left edge of
the display.

Not a crisis, just an "anomaly," a term used by NASA to denote anything
from a one-time unexpected noise to the rocket landing pointy-end down
outside of Phoenix.

Hi Fred,

I assume you have MENU:FixMode set to something other than "Static"?

It's set to Full Span.  Much [like nearly all] of the time, it works
exactly as it should ... tune upward past the right edge and the display
shifts to the next span segment and the cursor is at the left edge ...
and vice versa of course.
