[Elecraft] K3 RIT & OFFSET ENGAGES AT RANDOM

[KE8G]

Hi Greg,
Yes, we experienced this during field day with KK5W.  At first we thought
there was a problem with one of the 9 K3 rigs, so we swapped it out.  It
happened again with the replacement rig.  It was finally diagnosed to be
RFI that was causing the problem.  I am willing to bet you are
experiencing the same problem.
