[Elecraft] P3 Span limits in Fixed Tune mode

I generally operate CW at 20KHz spans, with the bottom edge of the 
screen at an even 20 KHz boundary.  Seems to work well, occasionally 
I'll find it different, not sure why.

In SS CW, I noticed that my lower span boundary was often 5 KHz up from 
the normal value ... such as 14025.  It seemed to happen more when I was 
using the N1MM Band Map and clicking on spots, which sends frequency 
change commands to the K3.

This is not a big deal, I just sort of like the bottom of the band to be 
at the bottom of the P3 span, but I can't find any other reason to 
complain except that I'm a retired engineer ... you know how we are, 
just ask my wife.

This P3 effect doesn't seem to happen any other time, but it was pretty 
regular when the laptop was sending frequency commands to the K3.

Just curious, maybe someone else has noticed this ... or maybe not and 
my mind made it all up.
