Skip,

The P3 span is the same in both cases (20kHz). If your P3 is set to Tracking mode, you can expect that if your K3 VFO has been changed from 7030kHz to somewhat above that frequency (VFO frequency is always in the middle of the display). If your P3 is in Fixed mode, I believe it should stay fixed to your selected frequency span with no change, but I have not verified that is true. If you are in Fixed mode and it changes, I do not have an answer for that.

The "span window" on my P3 will often move up by exactly 5 KHz when I change bands.  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?

It does this most of the time, sometimes the span window stays put where I left it.  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.
