[Elecraft] P3 Ref Lvl saving

[Bill Frantz]

I have noticed that my P3 does not correctly save the Ref Lvl 
for 160M over a power off/on cycle. The normal level for 160M 
here is about 96 while all the other bands are above 100. When I 
power off when set to another band, power on again, and switch 
to 160M, the Ref Lvl is set to the level of the band where I was 
when I turned off the power.

For example, if I am on 12M with a Ref Lvl of 144, and I power 
the K3 and P3 off and then on again, I come up on 12M with a Ref 
Lvl of 144 like I expect. If I then change bands, all the bands 
15M thru 80M come up to the last Ref Lvl I used on those bands, 
but 160M comes up at 144.

Note that I power the P3 from the K3 12V output and use the K3 
power switch to turn both of them on and off.

Has anyone else seen this behavior?
