The relay bypasses the P3's preamp when the signal level starts to overload the front end. On 40 meters strong SW broadcast signals (that you can't see on the screen) can cause that to happen.

On further investigation it appears to only happen on 40 meters and I
discovered I had the preamp on. Once I turned the preamp off the clicking
seems to have disappeared. If this has something to do with high signal
level, I'm only listening to -110dbm noise.

Normally when you change bands with the K3 the P3 will click(relay?) once
and the scope level will drop down a little. Recently I hear the click
happen ever once in awhile just sitting there no band change. Is there
something failing?
