First sent this to Skip rather than the list...

This appears to have been a problem from the time of the introduction of the P3. It seems to be triggered when a frequency command is issued to the radio via the P3 comm port. 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.

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.
