[Elecraft] P3: Noisy on 28MHz

I've been somewhat curious as to why my P3 has been showing an increased
noise floor on 28MHz recently (only 28 MHz, all other bands are fine..).
To cut a long story (but quite a methodical investigation) short, powering
the P3 from my K3 gives about a 10dB increase in noise compared to powering
it direct from my RigRunner.  All adds up....my P3 always was powered
direct until I did the mod on the K3 to increase the available current on
the 12v accessory socket.  It's no hardship - I'll just power it from the
RigRunner but curious to se if anyone else has noticed this?
