[Elecraft] K3 VFO tuning hash

[James Sarte]

Hi Dave,

I've gone through this issue with Wayne and Aptos as well.  My hash is
registers approximately S3-S5 around 5Mhz.  According to Wayne, the
synthesizers may be "hot". I do not notice this problem anywhere else and
since I usually don't operate around 5Mhz, it's gone unnoticed for some
time.

On my K3 #1122, I hear hash around 5MHz and a few other places on the bands,
but it
is only noticeable if I am rotating the tuning knob quickly.  If I'm looking
for signals, I'm 
turning the knob more slowly am not aware of hash.  Even if it is there,
reproduced as 
individual pops, it has gone unnoticed.

So:

1. Hash is definitely present on my K3 and is most definitely NOT something
received off-air.

2.  So far, it hasn't bothered me.

3.  Owing to 2, I don't recall where else I've heard it, other than at the
5MHz boundary when 
tuning quickly.

73 all.  Dave,  G3TJP
