Jim,
When tuning near a very strong continuous carrier, you may hear a
small AF artifact at points
Hi Eric,
Do you have the mod

in your rig?
I don't have the phenomena you describe in mine. I do have the above
mod. I realize it was for another reason, but wonder if it corrected
other stuff as well.

Yes I suppose that´s what it is. Well it´s been like that
from day one, think I have SNR 1594 so it´s been a while.
I always been upset about it since IMO a high performance
radio shouldn´t behave like this. However I just haven´t
had time to look in to it further. Maybe it´s faulty after
all.

No I have the RX EQ flat at 0, will test when I
get back home.

Can be correct Jim,
If I remember correctly VCO "jump" intervals are larger than 5kHz SWBC
raster.
(have you tried reducing RX EQ band 1 ? That might make this symptom less
obvious)

When tuning for example across an AM band (like 49m band)
it does not happen on all stations. Might be that it
happens on some certain frequency interval but still
quite frequent.
I have not done experiments with different tuning steps,
maybe I should. Will try it when I get back home next
weekend
Jim will probably tune in big steps for AM.
With more low frequency content in the audio/carriers of AM signals the VCO
interval cross-over points may be more evident.

I seem to have some faint ones on my K3 if I tune in big
steps, but not in small steps. Either way if I have them
they are very difficult to hear.
I can hear them very easy on my Yaesu
VCO relock chirps every few kHz is not normal. Best open a
correspondence with k3supp...@elecraft.com.

So you don't have VCO "relock" chirps every few kHz ??

It is normal.
K3 isn't the "smoothest" bandtuner.
(but the upside is a very clean LO signal, once the VFO is settled)

One important note - Like most ham rigs, the K3 is officially specified
at 100W. While the control turns up to 120W, and most rigs will go above
above 100w, they will not make that power level on all units on all
bands. Above 100W it is not guaranteed to meet all specifications.

Steve,
On AM, your carrier power should be about 25% of the peak transmitter power.
For a K3, which runs 120W output, this means that the carrier output should
be about 30W. I believe the K3 automatically sets the correct
carrier-to-peak power ratio, so that when you scale back the K3's power
outpu

I'm sure my fogginess on this is due to my own understanding deficit, but I
would like some more explanation on this in order to compare how the K3 will
