P3 display issue

[kg7vq]

I don't know what happened but my P3 suddenly has no spectrum display
and the waterfall is solid pink at all span settings. I tried to reset
the reference level but the only setting option available is "nan".

The P3 still tracks the K3 VFO. I tried to reset the scale, power cycled
the P3, checked the rear cables, reloaded the current firmware and
adjusted the RF gain on the K3 with no change. I have been running
firmware 1.26 for some time with no problems.

Serial number is 682 with no VGA adapter.  Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Russ,

That's pretty bizarre.  Try doing a parameter initialization as
described in the Troubleshooting section of the manual.

Thanks for the help. The parameter initialization did it. This is the
first time I have had to do this and I pretty much figured I had changed
something inadvertently. I probably did, but this cut to the chase so i
wasn't trying to find out which one.

Once again thanks.
