Subject: P3 CENTER button and SVGA display

 

Hi Gang,

 

I have the P3 with SVGA option and a K3.

 

The firmware appears up to date, according to the P3 Utility.

 

I've set CenterEn: ON and use the CENTER button and the P3 knob to move DX
pileups more into the center of the display.

 

When I hold the CENTER button while in CENTER mode, the P3 display returns
the VFO A green bar to the Center position, and the red bar of VFO B to the
correct vertical position relative to VFO A.  

 

However, the SVGA is hopelessly confused at this point, and the VFO A green
bar and the VFO B red bar are incorrectly positioned.

 

A power-cycle on the P3 is required to return the SVGA to normal.

 

I thought I might be getting RF into the SVGA port - but now have discovered
this happens without any TX at all.

 

Any suggestions or further things to check will be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks.
