P3 Freeze.

[Tom-2]

    My P3 display periodically freezes.  I've run a couple of contests with it going and it seems fine, but every once in awhile, it will just lock up.  I turn it off and back on and it's ok.  Any ideas??

You must check serial cable.

Hi Tom,

This has happened to me on two or three occasions. It never happened before I installed the SVGA board. But of course after the SVGA installation the firmware has gone through one or two revisions. I think it happened going from transmit to receive.

Mine also cleared up with a quick cycling of the P3 power button.

I have experienced this, but my lock-ups occur when tapping the
SELECT button and using the knob on the P3 to QSY to a frequency on
the SVGA display.

It's never stopped doing that, so now as a work-around, I tap the
FINE button on the right of the main VFO knob with my social finger
and use the VFO to make rapid changes on the SVGA screen.  Tapping it
again returns it to 1Hz resolution for fine tuning.

We've identified an issue that can sometimes cause the SVGA to freeze when the encoder on the P3 is moved very rapidly.   We are working on a solution.
