[Elecraft] P3 question

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Julie,

It sounds like you prefer to leave your P3 in Tracking mode. The procedure
I'll describe works best if you have the P3 set to Fixed Tune mode. I have a
Fn button set to flip back and forth between Fixed Tune and Tracking but if
you don't you can easily access it from the Menu under FixTrack. Just push
the SELECT knob to flip flop between Fixed Tune mode and Tracking mode.

If the DX is operating UP you'll want your VFO-A cursor to be on the left
side of the screen. To do this hold the CENTER button on the right side of
the P3. Then twist the P3 knob clockwise. If you don't see the full pileup
you may have to increase the frequency SPAN of the display. Just press the
SPAN button and twist the P3 knob clockwise.

If the DX station is listening DOWN then you'll move the VFO-A cursor to the
right side of the screen by twisting the knob counterclockwise.

73,
Mike K2MK
