P3 Request

[Gary Smith-2]

Since I often use the P3 for chasing DX in a pileup, I don't need the
empty space to the left 1/2 of the screen, or rarely, the right 1/2
of the screen when I have the Dx Tx freq in the center.

I'd like to see the P3 allow you to pin the DX Tx frequency to the
far side and use the entire screen to pick & choose where I want to
transmit in split. As it is, when chasing DX pileups, I have to waste
1/2 of the screen which means everything I want to look at has to be
compressed in 1/2 the space.

73,

I do this in Fixed Track mode.  I set the left edge just a little lower
than the DX QRG [VFO A in split mode], and then set the span to a little
wider than the pile-up which then occupies most of the width of the
screen.  The VFO B [my TX QRG] cursor is then a snap to move to where I
think he last made a Q.

Hi Gary,

You'll want to use the center frequency shift feature. Hold the Center button on the P3 to activate the function and turn the P3 knob until the DX station (VFO A) is wherever you want it to be. It works in Fixed Tune mode or Tracking mode.
