[Elecraft] [P3] Can I?

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

I'm not doing a a good job of explaining I think.

The rig is at 3.524. I double-tap the Split button to equalize the VFOs, then hold Split.
The P3 is set to a span of 10, i.e. -5 appears to the left, +5 appears to the right.
I set the P3 to tracking mode and move the green cursor to the left edge of the screen.

What I'm looking for is that when I tune either the B VFO or the B marker up band, it reaches the far right edge of the screen when I get to 3.529, instead of reaching 3.529 when it gets just to the right of the screen center.

In this set-up moving the B marker moves the A & B cursor and the marker and changes the center freq. displayed on the screen. That isn't desirable.

I don't want to change the span, just the amount of real estate it covers.

73, Mike NF4L
