Hello Bill, Contact elecraft support should be the right approach. If there is something wrong with your P3, repair under warranty is quick and efficiency. Elecraft support has never let me down.

No change on the screen. Bunch of work for nothing and was exactly what I expected. Of note: The ghosts vanish when the band is active - covered by the ambient background noise level. During the day, when the band is "dead," this is not the case and the spikes can be seen. Remember, I can not tune to them as they remain in a static location on the scope. Signals move through them as you tune. Having used other forms of band-scopes over the years (including the great SM-220) that only displayed what was actually RF on a band, I am convinced this is something internally generated within the P3. If it was outside of the P3, it would tune (move when the VFO is moved). Perhaps the P3 is overkill and does, or is capable of, way more than what a simple band-scope really needs to do. Such is the day and age of microprocessors - simplicity has been left in the dust of bells and whistles. Rather than continue to worry about this, I am just going to accept it as an anomaly of the P3. It really has no effect other than appearing as signals that are not really there. Once you know what they are, you won't bother trying to tune to them. Does this make it right for the $$$? No, of course not, but it is the easy way out for an old guy that only rag chews on 75 and 40. Thanks for all the comments, Bill W2BLC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net/ Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
