I have a 8-9 khz wide signal that follows my VFO A around. I saw this on 
160m and also in 10m this morning. I haven't checked the other bands.

No antenna was connected to the K3. The only cables connected to the P3 
were: Coax and RS232 from K3. I attached the RS232 to the computer to 
get the snap shots, bet the signal did not change with it connected to 
the computer or not.

Note: During the snapshots I bumped the VFO knob from 28.120 to 
28.119.40 by mistake during the snapshots, but that doesn't have any 
effect on the fact there is this big wide scary 8-9khz wide signal ~ 30 
khz down from VFO A that is tracking my main VFO.

What is going on, has my K-Line been invaded by something? If so what 
and how do I fix it?
