[P3} View a range of frequencies?

[Gary K9GS]

Hello all,

I am relatively new to owning a P3 / SVGA combo and have done some
searching and wonder if the following way of operating is possible?

Let's say you have a DX station operating on 14025 and listening 5 to 10
up.  VFO A is on 14025 and VFO B is split on the 2nd receiver tuning the
14030 to 14035 range.

Is there a way to display the spectrum from 14030 to 14035, filling the
width of the screen?  I would like to take advantage of being able to
look for holes or the station the DX station is working, taking
advantage of the big wide screen.

Gary, use the SPAN button on the front of the P3 to narrow the kHz
covered. It will automatically adjust on your big flat screen too.
As I recall, adjustments like this track by band, but not sure. Just try
that.

Hi Gary,

Yes and no.

Yes if you are using Tracking Mode where VFO-A is in the center of the screen. Tap the SPAN/CENTER button and change the span width to 5KHz with the P3 knob. Hold the SPAN/CENTER button to bring up the CENTER adjust feature. Turn the P3 knob clockwise to get VFO-A off of the screen.

No if you are using Fixed-Tune mode. You cannot get VFO-A off of the screen.

Actually you can.  Go into the P3 menu and set CenterEn so that Center Key is On."
