[Elecraft] P3 - still in trouble with new firmware

Hi,
Funny thing, the SVGA noise blanker and a number of other items were added in a January release of the beta software. I recall it was working, but there has been no production release since then except for this new beta version.
I hope that with the new K3S there is a little more commitment to the P3.

Will add my name to list about no NB on SVGA. I didn't know that was supposed to be working. Additionally bringing up the NB Level menu entry blue screens the SVGA display and shows Tx/Rx Data Font: 0 in the upper left hand corner.
My ancient data processing bug instincts scream mismatched data position definitions, but that that's just from an old systems design crank :>)
Did the firmware files get back leveled or something? This really looks like something that would have been fixed in house before public release.

Hi,
There seems to be some issues with this release of the firmware. I have the same issues as the others with all of the correct versions of the software (1.24 and 1.5). I also performed a parameter reset.
In addition to the issues reported here, the noise blanker no longer works on the SVGA, and the per band settings of the noise blanker are not updated on the SVGA display as you change bands.
I guess there should be another iteration?

Stephen:
Posted this to the wrong thread earlier.
Have you loaded the new SVGA firmware 1.24? You need this as well as the P3
firmware 1.50 for the SVGA to function correctly.
I've installed both and have not observed the problems reported.
See Paul Saffren - N6HZ message on FW loading sent today.
