[Elecraft] P3 phantom carrier

[Henrik Stenstrom]

Roger, Interesting!

I have seen this on my relatively new P3 on initial turn on. The "phantom
carrier" (great description),  sweeps from left to right just after turn
on, and usually disappears off the right hand side of the screen.

In very hot weather last weekend, the phantom executed its usual move but
remained in view with the display width set at +/-100.

 - yes it follows the VFO
 - looks like a (very overdriven) carrier, but produces no tone.

Interested in understanding this.

Thanks,

Henrik - VK2HHS
