P3 question

[k6dgw]

I normally run a 20 KHz span, fixed-tune [I'm pretty much CW only] on
all bands.  When operating manually, I almost never have to reset the
centering to put the edges on 20 KHz boundaries.  Playing around in
WPXwith N1MM+, when I shut down and then turn the rig back on, it comes
up on sort of random boundaries.  Anybody know:

1.  is this normal?

2.  should I be sending this on the N1MM+ list instead of here?

If N1MM changes the K3 VFO frequency, even temporarily, it could cause
the P3 to reset its center frequency.  To prevent that, you can set the
P3's FixMode to "Static".

Thanks Alan. I just verified that this happens only when I QSY by typing
a frequency into the N1MM+ entry window.  Problem resolved.

To expand just a bit, when commanding a QSY from the N1MM+ entry window,
the P3 seems to put that frequency in the center of the screen in
fixed-tune mode placing the edges +/- 10 KHz from it. If I QSY to
14050or 14070, which are the center of a 20 KHz boundary, the right and
left edges of the screen remain on 20 KHz boundaries which is what I
wanted.  I believe this is what Alan said.  You'd think I could have
figured this out on my own. [:-)
