[Elecraft] My KX3 makes a scratchy/ distorted/ noise/ only on 20 meters with tuning CW.

[Philip Townsend Lontz]

Latest firmware... Doe t do it on any other band... As I tune I hear it... When I stop, I don't. It's not real loud but it is rather bothersome. VFO NR is on. It's kind like I'm hearing some bleed thou from another off frequency station. Or if I am tuned on a station and I joggel the vfo back and forth is cause the distortion and noise etc. Vfo NR is on.
Any ideas?
