[Elecraft] Using the P3 jumpy when tuning

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

This is absolutely normal when averaging is turned on. Each time you 
change frequency the P3 has to restart the signal average, since the 
data it is receiving has changed.

73, Eric

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.
