If this is set to a large number the display will only refresh that often.  If it happens to be set to 500 ms (1/2 second) or even higher the display will appear very jerky.  Set that parameter down to around zero and you'll get quick sweeps that won't appear jerky at all.

Thanks, Jim. That helped; however, part of the jumpiness is (apparently) related to the fact that when the K3 is tuned, the P3 switches out of "Average" mode. If I set Averaging to 2 (or off), and the refresh rate to 0, the display is stable when tuning the K3.
