[Elecraft] P3 cursor tunes off screen

[Fred Jensen]

I'm not quite certain what Tim means by "tunes off-screen," but taken 
literally, it's not how mine works.  My parameters on 80 CW currently are:

FIXED-TUNE on
FIXED MODE AUTO ADJUST=Full Span
SPAN=20 KHz

When I tune VFO A up in frequency, its cursor moves to the right and 
when it gets to the right edge, the display moves up 20 KHz and the 
cursor appears at the left edge.

When I tune VFO B up, its cursor moves to the right and when it gets to 
the right edge, it disappears and the triangle appears pointing to the 
right.

I think Tim is saying that he tunes VFO A up, the cursor goes off-screen 
on the right, and the display span does not update.  Is there any chance 
your Auto-Adjust has gotten set to static?  In static, mine behaves as I 
think you describe.

73,
