P3 tracking K3 VFO A?

[Gary Smith-2]

Is there a way to have the marker track VFO A?

Along the same path, is there a way to have the marker stay on VFO A
and scroll as I adjust the K3?

It would be helpful to have see what is going on in the spectrum with
the P3 panadapter and move the VFO rather than only be able to use
the knob to move the marker to go to a particular signal on the
waterfall, and then push the knob on the P3 to move the K3s VFO to
that frequency.

Thanks

Hi Gary,

It sounds like you're happy with just tuning with the VFO-A dial. Why bother with the marker at all. Use of markers is really not all that convenient. You can also use VFO-B as a pseudo marker. Pushing the K3 A/B button will jump you to the VFO-B frequency. And VFO-B "can" be made to track VFO-A.

Gary,

Have you tried Fixed Tune Mode?   While Fixed Tune does not move MKR-A or MKR-B, it does move the VFO-A marker (center) through the displayed spectrum as you adjust the K3 VFO.   This way the spectrum appears to stay stationary while the VFO marker moves through it.  You can also configure how the P3 reacts when you get to the edge of the screen.

Fixed Tune mode can be enabled/disabled using the FixTrack menu entry.
