PX3 Display Help

Once again, the brain has abandoned me. On my PX3, the white outlined box that shows signals on the top part and waterfall on the bottom is only occupying about 2/3 of the glass screen. What I mean is that the bottom of the white outline does not come all the way down to the bottom of the glass area. The top area containing signals and waterfall occupy just under 1-1/2 inches, and the rest (underneath, about 3/4 inch) is black. What have I done that has caused me to loose 1/3 of my PX3 display? If I adjust the “Waterfall” value in the menu, it varies the amount of the display the waterfall takes up, but it does not affect that bottom line.

I’ve looked through the Menu entries several times but don’t see anything that jumps out and says “adjust display height” or something like that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Tnx, Jim / W6JHB

Hi Jim,

You might have Text Mode turned on. I don't have my KE7X book handy to tell you which menu item it is but its in there somewhere.

Cheers,

Fred KE7X

Press and hold the menu button. The word "labels" below is what you are
actually toggling with the long press of the menu button. You should then
see the waterfall area expand to the bottom of the screen.

You pressed and held the Menu button to display F-Key labels and you have not created any.
