[Elecraft] P3 and K3 VFOB

[Jim Sheldon]

Hadn't thought about that aspect, but yes, I also have the 2nd receiver installed.  I didn't try other frequency relationships and only a couple of different SPAN widths when it disappeared after moving off the 25KHz.  Getting back in the Stew Perry 160 meter contest so don't have much time to play with this right now.
