[Elecraft] P3 bug

[Vic Rosenthal 4X6GP/K2VCO]

I've seen this mentioned by others, but I don't think I've heard an 
official response.

Sometimes the P3 'freezes up' for one to three seconds when returning to 
receive condition after transmitting CW. It doesn't happen every time, 
but enough to be bothersome, especially in a fast pileup. It is not 
caused by RF, because it happens in TX TEST mode.

I have the VGA adapter, if that is related, although the freeze occurs 
on the P3 screen as well.

To reproduce the problem, switch to TX TEST mode, and repeatedly send 
VVV at 25 wpm. The P3 will usually come back immediately after each 
group, but every few times it will stay frozen for a few seconds.
