P3 Waterfall

My P3 waterfall disappeared when I turned the rig on tonight. WF Height
shows the line, and it moves with the knob, but no WF, just a very tall
spectrum display. No SVGA. I'll maybe reload the FW tomorrow.

I recently saw this happen on W6NV's P3 after upgrading the firmware from a
very old version to the most recent version in one jump, or perhaps I
accidentally removed power from the back of the P3 while it was on, while
simultaneously bumping one of the front panel buttons. Reloading the
firmware and doing multiple power cycles did not fix it.

Instead, if you can get to the P3 menu, go to the RESET option and press
the knob.

Or, if the P3 Utility still talks to the P3, go to the command tester and
type:

#RST;

You may then find that the REF LEVEL is set way too high at 0 dB. Adjust
REF LEVEL back down to about -120 dB and it should be back to normal.

A button I never use ... that fixed it. I must have bumped it while
re-mounting the data switch on top. Thanks,
