[Elecraft] P3 shows vertical green stripes on waterfall

[Dominic Baines]

Sound like TFT screen h/w related.... I got a laptop that does something 
similar with an external monitor IF the screen cable gets kinked or is 
not connected properly. Check all the cables and connectors and vertical 
lines or a somewhat 'green' image cleans up. I'd take a look at the P3 
connections and cables.

> Hello all, I am trying to figure out why our P3 panadapter sometimes but not always shows a group of vertical green stripes that cover about 1/6 of the width of the screen.  These stripes are not related to RF frequency because if I switch bands they remain in the same location.  If I remain on one band and twirl the VFO knob, real radio signals move into the green stripes but the stripes themselves are immobile.
