[Elecraft] P3 bug

[Bill Frantz]

I have seen the same behavior as well. I'm away from my K3/P3, 
so I can't test it, but I think I have seen the freeze in AFSK A 
and SSB modes as well. I also have the SVGA installed in my P3.

The behavior reminds me of the way the Apple ][ would go "out to 
lunch" every once in a while while the Basic interpreter ran 
garbage collection. If the P3 or SVGA is programmed in a garbage 
collected language, that might be the problem.
