[Elecraft] P3 SVGA in Split

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Tighe,

I was able to repeatedly duplicate what you described. I think you found a
bug.

First, we should get the nomenclature correct. You don't mean "VFO A Marker"
you mean "VFO A Cursor". And the problem only occurs in Tracking mode. And
the problem is not just caused by pressing the Spot button. If you gently
twist the VFO A dial the center frequency on the top of the SVGA screen
changes and the VFO A cursor jumps to the center of the screen on the
external monitor. The P3 display remains as it was.

In addition to toggling FixTrack you can also clear it by a very slight turn
of the P3 knob if the center frequency shift function is still active. A
slight turn will make the VFO A cursor jump back to where it was set at the
side of the screen.

Others may not have noticed it because the whole idea of having the VFO A
cursor not in the center of the screen really cries out for Fixed Tune mode
rather Tracking mode. 

73,
Mike K2MK
