[Elecraft] PX3: Apparent "bug" fw 1.42

[Don Wilhelm]

Grant,

The reason it limits the waterfall to 100 in mode 3 is to make more room 
for the text decode.

Why the maximum value does not go back to 139 when you cycle around to 
1) again is not something I can make any statements about.  Perhaps Paul 
S will comment (bug or 'feature').

Finding things of this nature is what the beta version is all about.  
You might want to email Paul directly pauls at you-know-where dot com 
with your report in case he is not monitoring the reflector at this time.

73,
Don W3FPR

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.
