[Elecraft] PX3: Apparent "bug" fw 1.42

[GRANT YOUNGMAN]

I haven’t tried this on previous firmware versions, but it does exist in the current beta.  Looked through Nabble and didn’t see anything related, but might have missed it.  Just started playing with digi modes so haven’t haven’t had a need to look at this previously.

A long press on the MENU button will toggle between the three display modes (1) Spectrum/Waterfall, (2) Spectrum/Waterfall/Button-Menu, (3) Spectrum/Waterfall/Text.

When in mode (1) above, the maximum Waterfall height can be adjusted to 139.  Same in mode (2) above.  However, in mode (3) above the Waterfall height can only be set to a maximum of 100 (which is still a reasonable display, but does not follow the pattern).

However … let’s say we set the Waterfall to 139 in mode (1).  If I toggle to mode (2), the Waterfall height remains at 139.  If I toggle to mode (3), the Waterfall height reverts to 100.  And then the next toggle, which goes back to mode (1), RESETS the Waterfall height to 100 instead of holding it at the previously set 139.

If I then POWER OFF the KX3, and power it back on, the Waterfall height in mode (1) RETURNS TO 139.  Until I cycle around the options again … 

Something isn’t working right … a setting is getting lost or reset inadvertently.

Can anyone else verify this behavior?  Any input from the PX3 folks?  Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Thanks …
