[Elecraft] P3 display incorrect at power-up

I've noticed the following problem for the past couple of releases of K3 and
P3 software.  Since my P3 is fairly new, I don't know if it's always been
there or not.  I'm running the current software on both K3 and P3.

 

When I turn on power to the K3, the P3 comes on, too.  Often, the display of
the P3 will be incorrect.  For example, if I'm in USB mode, the u-shaped
cursor (not sure what to call it) that shows the current passband of the
filter might show it centered (as in CW) or to the left of center (as in
LSB). The other day, I powered on in CW mode and the cursor was off to the
right of center.

 

The "fix" is to change modes or bands on the K3, and the P3 will immediately
correct itself.  After that, it's correct for as long as the K3 is powered
on.  It's such a minor annoyance that I didn't bother reporting it.  But
after a couple of s/w releases and no change, I figured I'd better report
it.

 

Has anyone else seen this?
