[Elecraft] P3 SVGA - Spurious Spike

Just installed the SVGA option in the P3 and have an odd spike appearing
on the screen. Any help would be appreciated. Here are the symptoms:
The spike appears at 11.8 KHz above the VFO A frequency, and stays at that
distance as VFO A is tuned - that is, it moves as VFO A moves. It appears
on 10, 15, 20, and 40 meters (haven¹t tried others). The apparent
amplitude is over S9.
But there is no signal there - tuning across the spike¹s frequency with
the SubRX produces nothing audible in the K3.
The spike disappears when SVGA EN is set to OFF.
The spook appears although there is no SVGA monitor connected, and no
computer connected to anything, so it¹s not from some other box. Seems to
be residing in the P3. Did not occur before the SVGA option was installed.
Firmware in both the K3 and the P3 and its SVGA are current as of
yesterday - but the anomaly appeared both before and after the updates,
and before and after the synths were changed.
Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!
Ted, KN1CBR
