couple of questions on P3 FOLLOW UP

[Phil Anderson]

Thanks Mike, Alan, Fred, Gary, etal. What a great group!

At Mike's suggestion, I went back and set P3 in FIXED MODE and the
"noise" when dialing VFO-A went away! Yeah!

And Fred, you said, "In tracking mode, my display 'jumps'...wouldn't
call is 'noise on the trace.' "
Fred, I have to agree with you. The band of noise as I called it when in
FIXED MODE is small, and I don't notice it; what I am seeing in TRACKING
MODE is a similar pattern like that in fixed mode but it does 'jumps'
and is enlarged some - so it is not really noise. It is a bit annoying
but I can live with it. I think I'm partial now to the fixed mode
anyway, more natural as some of you have said.

I tried several other cables I had as one of you suggested, no
difference, so cable ok. I also tried SP2 instead of SP1 as Gary
(Elecraft) suggested. Didn't see any change there.

I think I'm good to go on this one. Thanks again guys,

Phil, W0XI, Lawrence, KS

Count me as another fan of fixed mode. Now if my
PX3 can do it eventually, I'll be a happier camper
:-)
