[Elecraft] P3-Fixed-tune mode anomaly

[Fred Jensen]

P3, no SVGA, FW 1.20

VFO A cursor goes off the edge and the display does not reset to the 
next segment.  The "Cursor Is That Way" arrow appears.  Tuning back into 
the displayed segment gets the cursor back.

If, while cursor is off the display, I change bands and then come back, 
all is well.

Example:

SPAN=50KHz.  VFO A=14.030.000, left edge is 14.000.000, right edge is 
14.050.000

Tune up to 14.061.000  VFO A cursor goes off the right edge and arrow 
appears.  Left and right edges of display are still 14.000.000 and 
14.050.000

It is not repeatable.  It is not band-dependent.  It may be correlated 
with how fast I tune past the right edge the first time, but once it 
happens, the display range stays fixed and I can move the cursor off the 
screen at any tuning speed.  I've never observed it off the left edge of 
the display.

Not a crisis, just an "anomaly," a term used by NASA to denote anything 
from a one-time unexpected noise to the rocket landing pointy-end down 
outside of Phoenix.
