[Elecraft] K3/P3 Question

[Fred Jensen]

Today, I was copying KSM on 6474 KHz on one VFO and decided to send 
K6KPH a signal report on 7050 KHz on the other.  I had set my P3 to 20 
KHz span, and the left edge was 7040 KHz [I'm in fixed-tune mode, the 
VFO cursor moves, I was "two spans up" from the bottom of the band] and 
the VFO A cursor was in the middle of the display when I was on 7050.

I tapped A/B, now listening to KSM on 6474.  The P3 showed a 20 KHz span 
from 6460 to 6480 and the signal at 6474.  I got a QSA and QRK, and then 
tapped A/B again to swap VFO's.  At this point, the left edge of the P3 
display was my transmit frequency [7050] instead of 7040 where I had set 
it previously.  It seems to be totally repeatable.

Is this normal behavior?  I guess I expected the P3 to return to the 
configuration I had set on the 40m VFO ... 7040-7060 with the tx freq in 
the middle.
