[Elecraft] [P3] Another symmetry question

[Randy Farmer]

This "feature" has been commented on in the past. It appears the P3 
automatically recomputes the display limits in Fixed Tune mode if the K3 
frequency is changed via the RS232 port (i.e., the P3 gets the frequency 
change command). When I use the Band buttons on the KPA500 to change 
bands the P3 display limits don't change -- probably because the 
frequency change is commanded by way of the serial bus between the 
transceiver and the amp.

I also find this quite annoying and would like the P3 to respect my 
manual settings when a QSY is commanded.
