PX3 Display During Transmit

On my P3 connected to my K3S when I transmit the display is frozen and shows the last spectrum.

I just noticed that on my PX3 connected to my KX3 that during transmit the current filter display covers the spectrum with a solid color.

This does not matter much but I prefer how the P3 operates. I did not see anything about this in the manual. Is there a way to get it to operate like the P3 and is this normal?

Re: PX3 Display During Transmit

Not sure what you mean by “current filter display” — on the PX3 (?). The PX3 works exactly like the P3 — during transmit, the PX3 display freezes in place. Nothing is covered by a solid color. I’ve never seen it do what I think you are describing.

Have no idea why that might be happening. Have you checked the connections between the KX3/PX3?

Re: PX3 Display During Transmit

On the PX3 a solid green band displays the current bandwidth of the RX filter. While receiving the spectrum is displayed over this block. When I go to TX the spectrum on top of the green filter display disappears and only the green filter block is displayed. The spectrum outside of the filter block is frozen and displays as normal. When I return to RX the spectrum displays over the green filter block again.

I can not imagine how the KX3 / PX3 connections could have anything to do with this behavior. Could it possibly be a bug introduced with the latest firmware or perhaps due to some combination of menu settings?

Re: PX3 Display During Transmit

Sorry. Was in the middle of something, and had a brain f*rt.

Anyway, no, works the same — the spectrum continues to be displayed (frozen) in the bandwidth window with the cursor. It does not disappear.

I’m on the latest firmware. If there’s a menu function that would affect that (can’t imagine why), I’m unaware of it.
