[Elecraft] P3 Span limits in Fixed Tune mode

[Alan]

Hi Fred,

When the K3 VFO A frequency gets outside of the P3 displayed span, the 
P3 center frequency may change to keep VFO A on-screen, depending on the 
setting of the FixMode menu setting.  If you set FixMode to "Static" 
then the displayed range should not change no matter what the K3 is doing.
