[Elecraft] [K3] Noise from P3

[Bill]

I tried the hand thing and still no change.  There is obviously a difference
between our setups.  I assembled my P3.  I also followed the cabinet paint
cleaning scheme with my dremel tool to be sure the cabinet sides were well
bonded.  Did you do this?

Yes, I do.

Try placing your hand immediately in front of the P3 screen and it will act
as an aerial, making the situation quite a bit worse.

While operating on SSB on 144.225 MHz using the internal K144VX transverter
I am getting broadband noise around that frequency when I switch on my P3.
The noise is quite strong, about S7, and shows clearly on the P3 screen. If
I move the P3 about six inches away from the K3 the noise disappears.
Removing the 2 metre antenna also removes the noise.

I would be grateful if anyone else with a K144XV and a P3 would check to see
if they get the same problem?

Many thanks
