[Elecraft] PX3 displaying artifacts...

[robkan at mail.dk]

I have tried this with two KX3’s with the same result. 

 

When connecting a PX3 to a KX3 and there is no antenna, the flat signal on the PX3 has some artifacts. The highest being where the KX3 unit is placed and then 2 to 3 on each side symmetrically of decreasing amplitude. This means that when you scroll the VFO for a signal it appears as if you are always on a signal!

Usinbg the same PX3 on another KX3 I get the same.

 

Unless KX3 rigs are sensitive to some local noise (compared with a K3 where there are no artifacts on a P3) then it may be the PX3 itself, but what is the adjustment to cancel this? Any clues or suggestions would be appreciated.
