[Elecraft] P3: Span limits move when changing bands

[Don Wilhelm]

Skip,

The P3 span is the same in both cases (20kHz).  If your P3 is set to 
Tracking mode, you can expect that if your K3 VFO has been changed from 
7030kHz to somewhat above that frequency (VFO frequency is always in the 
middle of the display).
If your P3 is in Fixed mode, I believe it should stay fixed to your 
selected frequency span with no change, but I have not verified that is 
true.  If you are in Fixed mode and it changes, I do not have an answer 
for that.

73,
