P3 Issue

[Dave Brackett - AK4CL]

We were demonstrating the P3 at the Kennehoochee Hamfest and discovered glitch which can be repeated using the following steps:

Install all firmware
Reset
FixTrack ----> Fix-Tune Mode
Band Change ----> display freeze
Turn off
Turn on ----> Fatal Error (In: ddc_set_coef(); Span=0)

Any suggestions? We have another show this weekend (Saturday)

Thanks Dave, I've been able to duplicate the bug.  (It's really helpful
to have a specific list of key presses; thanks.)  I'm hot on the trail
and hope to have a fix shortly.

I'm a newbie having just acquired a used P3.  I installed the latest firmware and twice now I have gotten a fatal error and it occurs after changing bands not sure of the previous keystrokes.

I had the same problem but didn't seem to be related to changing bands but
happened doing a calibration per page 24 of the manual.
The message said FATAL ERROR, but a reset cleared the error. This happened twice
during the same operation. Like you, I didn't log the keystrokes leading up to
the error.

73,
