[Elecraft] P3 Cursor Position

[Alan Bloom]

There was an error in cursor position that affected certain digital
modes under certain conditions that has been fixed in beta version
00.29.  But other than that the cursors should be accurately showing the
actual filter bandwidth of the K3.

The one exception to that is if you adjust the filter shift so that the
bandwidth straddles the suppressed carrier frequency.  In that case you
don't actually hear anything (other than a little feed-through) on the
other side of zero beat.

Now, I believe that when I had the passband shift in the normal position with a 2.8 KHz filter width that my LSB signal showed the Cyan cursor being lined up right on the center frequency with the right side of the cursor border.  But today, I am noticing that the cursor overlaps the center position a little bit.  Still LSB, normal position on passband shift and also the same filter width of 2.8 KHz.
