[Elecraft] P3: How to Get Frequency on top center of P3

[Mark Wheeler]

Don,

I have everything setup as shown on page 6 of the P3 manual. I am using the serial cable with the RJ-45 jack.  All connections appear tight. I am wondering if there are any setting on the K3S that need to be checked or set. Both the K3S and P 3 are brand new. The K3S is loaded with all available options except the 2 meter band option.

Thanks,
Mark

If you do have that cable, make certain the RJ-45 plug is fully inserted.  You may have to pull back the cover and push the metal part of the plug in completely - it must snap in.
