[Elecraft] KX3 / NaP3 Spur Question

[Jim Bennett]

Matt,

Turned it on, but it didn't help. I've since turned it off, as I understand that it causes slightly higher battery drain.

Tnx for giving it a shot though!

I bring up NaP3 to see the CW signals on a band and I am seeing a "birdie" or "spike" (or whatever you want to call it) right at the pitch offset frequency. So, for example, with the KX3 pitch set to 550 Hz, and the KX3 sitting on 24.890.00, I'm seeing this thing at 24.890.55. I know absolutely it is the pitch frequency, because I can press & hold CMP and change the pitch frequency and the spikey guy moves with it. Fortunately I'm not talking about a 40db over S9 signal - it is more in the order of about S3 or so. But it is enough to be distracting when looking at the spanadapter and also enough to cover up any "blips" from weak signals underneath it. When I turn on the waterfall view on NaP3, I'm seeing a solid cyan line vertically right under that spike.
