[Elecraft] P3: Peak hold question

[Craig]

Hi 

When I run the P3 for an extended period of time of 10 to 15 minutes, it seems that the Peak hold blue/cyan trace resets or freezes.

 The peak hold trace goes flatline well above the highest signal peak after a long run. Is this normal behavior ? The peak hold trace might have a buffer that fills up that causes the trace to freeze or reset?

I like leaving the peak hold trace running continuously since the Peak correlates more closely to the S-meter's true reading. My P3 reads -80dbm for a S9(-73dbm) signal input.

 I just got my  P3 so might have missed something by not reading the manual properly.
