[Elecraft] Any need for the handle?

[n5ge at n5ge.com]

Gary,

Setting my P3 to the left of the K3 caused the K3 Handle to expand to the point
of pushing the P3 1/2" from where it was originally on the OP.

Investigation of my logs indicates that the phenomenon may have been caused by
the daily rate of increased DX contacts in the log since acquiring the P3.

Does that mean my K3, P3 and KPA500 all have Mojo?
