P3 cursors won't go up more then 200 MHz

hi folks,

just preparing everything for the IARU-region 1 UHF/SHF-contest
(10/2-3).

While testing I was not able to set the P3's cursors beyond 200 MHz.
Anybody show me the right way to exceed this frequency limit please.
I'm sure this must be a software bug between operator's ears.
Everything else (K3/10 #1935, Kuhne TR432H transverter) working
together fine since years. Only the brandnew P3 #323 won't
follow ... ;-(

Re: P3 cursors won't go up more then 200 MHz

hi Jim,

sorry I've been not clear enough to explain my problem.

It is the CENTER frequency I'm talking about not the SPAN.

For example: receiving frequency is at 432.418 MHz (German beacon) and
P3 has been switched on together with K3. P3 displays the same center
frequency as the K3 dial shows. Now you tap 'Marker A' an switch it
on. Displayed on P3's screen is 'Marker A 432418'. As soon as you dial
the P3 select the P3's display shows 'Marker A 200000'. You only can
now dial to a frequency BELOW 200000, there's no chance dialing mor
than 200000.

If you now try qsying via P3 selct (tap to QSY) the K3 won't follow.
It is fixed to K3's frequency.

Sorry about being not clear enough, but my English is too poor to make
the explanation clearer. Hope you understand my problem anyway ;-).

Thanks for answering es 73

Re: P3 cursors won't go up more then 200 MHz

Hi Wolf,

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I've found the bug and it will be
fixed in the next firmware revision. It turns out that the Center
Frequency adjustment also was not working properly above 200 MHz.
