[Elecraft] K3 FC issue with filters

I called the Elecraft to get some help with this.  After removing the K3 
out of line, removed computer control, amps, tuner etc. The problem was 
gone.

I was running radio control with my logging software.  I found a tab 
where that software was sending the odd FC offsets.

Just like computers, always go back to the most basic configuration 
possible and see if the problem is there if not then start adding in 
pieces until you find the cause.

Thanks for help everyone and as usual the folks at Elecraft were quick 
to call me back and get me on track.

Thanks from an embarrassed K3 owner.
