[Elecraft] spikes that never move

[Tim Hague]

Do I detect a trend here, our friend in VK has had radiated noise coming down the power lines and has seen poor EMC PCB design practice which has been verified by other hams on here and the Yahoo group, you and others are seeing spurious emissions from the P3, I asked questions about testing and certification with no response.
 Has the P3 been tested for emissions in a test lab?, does it meet the requirements for sale in the EU and other parts of the world?.
I really would like to know, my K3, KPA500 and KAT500 all were supplied with no D of C's or CE marks which is against EU law.

Sorry to be pedantic about this but the competition do meet their regulatory requirements.

Best regards, Tim Hague

The connectors on the cable were inferior to Amphenol’s in that there was no tension in the connector when seating them and thus there was eventually a poor connection to the shield.  Whenever the problem would occur I could reseat both connectors and the problem, stationary images, would clear.  I tried replacing the cable with one of the same types received with the P3 but it also had the same problem.  When pushing some true Amphenols on that I had here provided a lot of tension when pushing them on. 73 Mike
