[Elecraft] P3: Span limits move when changing bands

I guess maybe I need to fire up N1MM+ to see what happens here.  Dxbase seems to work fine and so does DX4WIN.

It may be a timing issue.  It only happens when the software [N1MM+ in my case] sends a frequency command.  It rarely happens for me when I make the first frequency change.  Returning to the first band, it usually happens.  And you're right, it is annoying.
