Hello,I received reports recently about the signal peaks that are seen in software based panadapters appear to shift by approximately 1.25kHz when the bandwidth control is changed from 1.8 to 1.7. in USB mode on the K3


At 1.8 the IS command returns 1500 in USB and the BW command returns BW0180
AT 1.7 the IS command returns 1500 in USB and the BW command returns BW0170 which is normal behavior.


I have investigated this and it indeed happens when the bandwidth is changed from 1.8 to 1.7
The sound of the signal nor the tuning of the radio is changed. However, a QSY to the original peak will detune the signal.
This has been confirmed in Win4K3Suite, NAP3 and HDSDR.


Can someone check this please on the PX3? 
This is on the latest firmware of 2.19


Thanks, Tom va2fsq
