One of the interesting things about having a panadaptor is being able to see rather than just hear what's going on in a small spectral region. I see all kinds of things racing across the screen, noise-floor bumps, etc. But, now that I can see, I'd never willingly give it up. I can find holes in

I have to agree. It's interesting to see how what I formerly thought was 'just QRN' is sometimes a localized (in frequency) burst of RF. There are all kinds of phenomena that I had no idea existed which have become visible. It's also helpful to identify the stations with key clicks -- maybe

It's not coming through your antenna. I see the same thing here in north Texas, especially if there's not much in the way of received signals and often at power-up. It doesn't seem to matter which band the radio's tuned to. It's definitely some kind of pickup within the P3 box, probably from
