[Elecraft] P3 losing Fixed mode after remote operation

[Rick Tavan N6XI]

When operating locally, I keep my P3 in Fixed mode. When I operate the
remote station, the P3 serial input is disconnected from the K3 and the P3
isn't in use. The next time I operate locally, the P3 comes up in Tracking
mode. Is this loss of mode necessary or can it be fixed? (It only happens
if I power up the P3 while the serial port is disconnected. I can avoid it
by setting up the P3 for manual power-on control and remembering never to
turn it on when the serial port is disconnected, a bit of a pain.)

Thanks,

/Rick
