[Elecraft] P3 Phantom Signals

Make sure your BNC cable between the K3's IF output and the P3 input  is 
securely plugged in. (I usually unplug and replug in the cable as part of this 
test.) If you have an alternate BNC cable, try it too as its always possible 
there is a poor connection between the cable shield and one of the connectors, 
allowing external noise to leak in at the K3's IF frequency.

Also make sure this cable is not placed on top of switching power supplies or 
near other possible noise sources.

73,
