[Elecraft] P3 Markers A & B problem?

When I first got it, turning on Marker A or Marker B would start out with the markers centered.  You could then move them to where you wanted either A or B to QSY to and tap the button.  With VFO A, the P3 moved that signal to center along with the marker.  If you shut the marker off, and moved VFO A, the next time you turned the marker on, it was centered.  Now, it stays on the last position of VFO A.  Don't know what I did to cause this.  If you set marker A to center freq, it will stay there through several moves of VFO A and then start staying at the last position of A.  Getting frustrating.

The way I perceive that it should work, if the marker is off, when you turn it on it should come up in the center of the display as that's the current frequency the VFO is tuned to.  This should be the same for either VFO A or B.  

Any Ideas?  If I'm not thinking correctly or doing something wrong, I can't find it in the book which is currently somewhat sketchy on this subject.  I did a complete parameter reset and it still does this.  I don't remember it doing that when I first got it.
