I have a K3 which has been upgraded to have the Elecraft 
internal USB sound card.

I tried adjusting the DSP bandwidth when running FT8 to 
eliminate a strong signal above the FT8 subband and noticed that 
there was a strong noise bar on the water fall for about 400 Hz 
below the high cutoff. Further playing with the controls showed 
a similar noise bar just above the low cutoff. Note that these 
noise bars are in the requested pass band.

Has anyone else observed this noise? Does anyone have an explanation?
