[Elecraft] P3 - spikes that never move

[Dave Van Wallaghen]

Bill,

If this is the same thing we were talking about a few days ago, I was 
able to pretty much eliminate mine by replacing the BNC cable for the IF 
input.

I'm in Fixed Tune and Fix Track mode on my P3 and when I tune the K3 the 
spikes would move with my display. You could never catch up to them or 
hear them in the band pass. Annoying, but not a major deal. But like I 
said, a few of us found the BNC cable at fault and I think one op 
mentioned sanding the cabinet ground areas of the P3 to improve 
connectivity and this helped as well.

HTH
