[Elecraft] P3 Vfo Blips

[FredJensen]

A drop of DeOxit on it [shield and center pin, both ends] and several 
removal/insertions cured mine.  Also, make sure the P3 chassis screws 
are tight, and the chassis is directly bonded to the K3.  I may put a 
ground post on my P3 to take it to the ground bus right behind the rigs.

The other note is that I originally ran without the K3 IF Level mod, and 
when I calibrated the P3 and K3 S-Meter with my service monitor, I ended 
up with fairly high gain in the P3, and quite a few anomalous blips and 
such.  Doing the mod got the gain back to normal and all is well.
