[Elecraft] P3 Artifacts

[Don Wilhelm]

Jim,

Have you tried re-dressing the ribbon cable routing inside the P3? That 
is an important item.  Check the P3 assembly manual to make certain the 
cables are routed in the proper manner.

When I tune to certain frequencies, I will get a "blip" on the screen that is 5-6 dB above the noise and I have the classic artifact that is ~3 kHz wide and 4-5 dB above the noise floor, that is just below the tuned frequency.  I have the ribbon cable dressed to the LHS of the chassis and the coax on the RHS (when looking at the P3 display).
