[Elecraft] P3 bug

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

I have never seen this but I don't have the SVGA.

The P3 "mutes" in response to the TX flag in the IF; info or perhaps
in response to the TX; "get."  I would guess the freeze is due to
missed or corrupted data between the K3 and P3 ... perhaps due to
additional processing/data to support the SVGA.

73,
