[Elecraft] P3 visualizing local noise

My P3 started displaying persistent clumps of noise across each band. These
clumps reoccurred at about every 72KH over most bands. I thought I had a rig
problem so I emailed Gary at Elecraft. Based on my description of the
problem he concluded the noise was not coming from the K3 or the P3. He
suggested using a small AM radio to snoop for the source. The source turned
out to be the AC adapter on my son's old laptop! What a relief! If not for
the P3, I may not have taken notice; If not for Gary's suggestion, I may
have given up on trying to identify the "outside" source. I thought I'd pass
this along as another positive WRT P3 integration. It made the difference.

73, Fred
