PX3 and KX3 tuning noise

[dennis rosenbalm]

While tuning the KX3 I've noticed the noise floor jump up on the PX3. Seems to do it on all bands. Is this normal? Anyone have any idea about when fixed mode tuning will be issued in non beta form?

No such problem here.  Encoder noise?

On my K3/P3, I get a rise when the cursor crosses a screen boundary. Lasts a second or so.

The RX noise floor in the K3 is not likely changing in this case. If you are
using signal averaging on the PX3, the average resets each time you change
frequency. As a result the noise floor will be non-averaged during continuous
tuning and appear higher. Once you stop it will average over the number of
passes you have set and return to its previous lower value.

Of course, I meant KX3. :-)

Right.  If you are in fixed-tune mode the averaging does not reset
except when the VFO runs off the edge of the screen.  In tracking mode
the averaging resets every time the VFO moves more than about one pixel
on the display.
