[Elecraft] KXPA100 Question

[Grant Youngman]

Should have searched on Nabble first.  Finally found some discussion of this PX3 cursor lag issue when running a KXPA100 back in 2017.

Elecraft apparently recognized it as a bug, and talked about a fix, but I guess nothing has been forthcoming.

For instance when setting the Ref Level if the Select control is turned very fast the display just jitters and doesn't change the level. But when turned at a very slow rate the level changes appropriately. I didn't notice this behavior before I put the KXPA in line.
