[Elecraft] P3 capture bug?

[Sam Morgan]

P3 @ 38,400 on a real serial port, Win 7 Pro, P3 Utility v1.3.8.25

If I do a screen Freeze
using an FNx button I have set for Freeze

Then do a [Capture Image]
while P3 in the tracking mode,
after the image capture is complete
if I click on File and then Save as
or if I simply wait about 10 seconds
the P3's screen blanks
everything is there except no wave form is viewable
at the same time the tracking mode switches to Fixed-tune mode

I can just tap the MKR A button and the waveform comes back on
but the really annoying thing is I'm still stuck in Fixed-tune mode
I have a FNx set to switch back to tracking mode

but that is just one more thing to do
to get back to where I can take another capture


I'm using this with Peak
and then taping the Fnx for Freeze off and on
until I can grab/freeze the yellow instant wave form I want
in the capture,
along with the cumulative Peak readings in blue,
before I hit the [Capture Image] button

if I have peak running and then hit [Capture Image]
I know it freezes the screen,
*and it doesn't cause the Fixed/Tracking mode shift)
but if it wasn't the (instantaneous waveform) shot I wanted
I also have to wait 35 seconds
before I can try again to capture what I wanted

hope all that makes sense to you.
