[Elecraft] P3 Problem

[Larry Burke]

I am using a P3 with the SVGA option. It is connected to a K3. I find that
frequently after transmitting -- particularly calling a DX station in a
split-frequency pileup -- the P3 display comes back sluggish or almost
frozen for up to 20 seconds or so. Then it returns to providing real-time
information. It's almost like the P3 is suffering from data overload,
finally processes it, and gets back to normal. 

 

This is particularly annoying as one cannot spot where the DX is listening
in said pileup because the screen is essentially frozen and does not display
stations real-time until it "unfreezes". This happens regardless of mode
(CW, SSB or RTTY). In RTTY this "freeze time" also locks up the USB
keyboard. 


The problem does not appear to be RFI related, as I get it regardless of the
power output level. 

 

Any idea what's going on?
