[Elecraft] K3 scanning issue with squelch

[Chris Hallinan]

I have set up 3 channels to scan at 50 MHz.  Not that it matters, but they
are in channels 16-18.  First is 50.089.58, second 50.125, third 50.145
MHz, mode USB.

Very often, scanning stops at the last entry (50.145 MHz) and the squelch
breaks.  I have a constant S3 noise level here (that's another project!)
but there are never any signals nor transients.  The S meter never shows
any type of signal, and there is never any audible signals when squelch
breaks, just my soothing :( steady noise level.

Even if I turn the squelch fully CCW, i think the value is 30, it still
breaks at .145 just as often.  In other words, the squelch setting makes no
difference.

Any ideas what may be causing this and how to tame it?
