[Elecraft] P3: Span limits move when changing bands

[K9MA]

I haven't noticed that large a shift, but sometimes 0.5 kHz or so.

Is there any hope on the horizon for curing this extremely annoying "feature"? There's absolutely NO reason for the P3 to decide to change the span limits by itself once they've been set up on a band. Maybe if we complain every couple of months someone at Elecraft will take notice and get it fixed.

For example, on 40 with a 20 KHz span and the span window going from 7020 to 7040, if I go to another band and then come back to 40, the span will now be 7025 to 7045.  Is this normal?  Have I missed a menu option?

I think it has some connection to where in the span window the cursor is, but so far, I haven't been able to reverse engineer that.  I'd really like it to retain whatever span window limits I've set for each band.
