[Elecraft] K3 freq goes wonky

[Fred Jensen]

No ideas, however on the outside chance that it might be related ...

running N1MM+ in contests, every now and then, my K3 goes into a 
frequency scan, sometimes up, sometimes down.  It doesn't seem to matter 
where I was when it starts.  It has never done that without N1MM running 
so I'm guessing N1MM is sending it some commands, but I don't know that 
is isn't in the K3.  My casual operation comes in much shorter periods 
than contests, maybe if I got into a 10 hour rag chew it would do it. :-)

Hope you can find it.
