[Elecraft] P3 "Tuning Noise"

[Fred Jensen]

OK folks, I'm just curious, whether or not I should have a glass of wine 
with dinner is a much bigger deal for me than this so I don't want to 
start a big thread, but ...

I've noticed, just recently, that when I'm spinning the Big knob on the 
K3 fast, or even not so fast, the apparent noise level on the K3 
spectrum display seems to rise just a little [I don't use the W'fall, I 
can't see most of it].  When I stop turning the knob, the trace settled 
back to band noise.  Happens all bands [that I've tried].  P3 works just 
fine, K3 works just fine, KPA500 works just fine, I've got a few new 
ones including the "Survivor Island" on several bands, I'm just curious.

73,
