PX3 Lag

[Roger Meadows-2]

I recently got a KXPA100. Ever since I hooked it up I noticed that the PX3
marker no longer moves "smooth." It will move across the screen smooth for
a bit, lag behind in frequency, then jump to where it should be and then
continue. I thought it was a fluke at first but it does it quite
constantly. If I take the KXPA out of the loop, like when I go remote/QRP I
do not see this issue.

Another person with the same setup posted the same issue on the Yahoo
group. Is this normal, something I should be concerned about, something
Elecraft is aware of?

Thanks for your help.

If I remember correctly this is the result of loading on the serial data port.

I am the previous poster about this issue.
I was told by Elecraft support that it is a known issue but they offered no hope of a fix.
It is a bit annoying to me and I would really appreciate it being addressed if possible.
Seems the control buss may be overloaded at this point, but what do I know?

I haven't verified this, but one thing you might try is to turn PA MODE to OFF on the KX3.  You'll then need to turn on/off the KXPA100 manually since the KX3 will no longer be pinging the KXPA100.   This should eliminate the cursor/marker lag on the PX3.  

Kindly,

Paul

Roger,

I found this same issue when I added the KXPA100 back in the March timeframe. I posted here on the Elecraft list and shortly started an email dialog with Paul, one of Elecrafts Senior Software Engineers. After some testing it was determined that they could re-create the problem and that a fix would be in the works. I've since contacted them back several times for an update and as of this time, nothing has been done. Maybe now that others are seeing the issue it will get addressed a bit faster. Lets hope.

Scott,

This is definitely a bug, and it’s in my court. Sorry for not responding sooner.

I’ll be working on it when I get back from vacation in about a week.

Thanks Wayne, this is much appreciated.
It isn't a huge deal but can get a bit annoying at times.
A fix would be great.
