[Elecraft] P3: Span limits move when changing bands

[AB4IQ]

Sorry guys but N1MM+ works fine here.  I went to several bands and modes
with no change in the P3's span.  I am running WIN4K3SUITE and COM0COM and
all three programs at the same time with no issues.  I am using just a
standard (Printer Cable) to the PC but it is connected to the K3S rather
than the P3.  I thought it ran to the P3 at first but after further
inspection I was wrong.  (as Usual)

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.
