[Elecraft] P3 w/SVGA - No actual RF Frequency display

[Cady, Fred]

I think you might get that display if you do not have the serial cable
between the P3 and the K3.

Subject: [Elecraft] P3 w/SVGA - No actual RF Frequency display

Got the P3/SVGA today. It was an assembled unit with the SVGA factory
installed. I am powering it off the K3 +12 volt output. The new power
cable is in the mail. It has not shut down after all afternoon and
evening ON.
 
It has never displayed the actual RF frequency up in the center top of
the screen or at the left or right side top. Zero is at the top center
and the
+/- Spans are at the ends. I can adjust the span as it describes. The
Markers only display the offset from the center, not the RF frequency.
 
I cannot toggle it to the Fixed Mode also. It stays in the Tracking
Mode. I have the latest firmware installed (P3 1.12, K3 MCU 4.39, FPF
1.14, DSP1 2.73). The cables between the P3 and the K3 are per the
manual.  I  even tried a reload of the K3 and P3 firmware and even
reinitialized the P3 (page
28 of the manual).
 
I am using an external 19 inch flat panel Acer monitor. Any ideas what I
am doing wrong?
