I'm not sure what you're asking but I'll give you an answer anyway. It may not have been entirely clear what Gene and I saw on our P3 that turned out to be a problem fixed by a different BNC cable. On my P3 the BNC connector problem caused signals to be presented on the P3 display that could not have been present at the antenna. The P3 showed two bands of increased noise floor that were each roughly 38 kHz wide. One was 62 kHz above center freq and the other was 62 kHz below center freq. These noise bands were always present, regardless of operating band or center freq, with the same width and at the same distance from the center freq. If you're seeing signals invariant of the center freq then try a different BNC cable. If that doesn't help take a close look at the BNC receptacle on the P3 to see if it is damaged.
