Full bandwidth crashes... Making K3s/P3 radio unusable.

[Clay Autery]

Please check out my link to the video and picture of my P3 showing:

1) Repetitive broadband crash from below 580 kHz to over 54MHz...
2) Machine-like...  between 1/2 to 1 second between crashes.
3) Amplitude varies across the bands, but S7 on the P3 and S9+10 to
S9+20 on the K3s is about average.
4) Switches off for a while and then comes back...  Almost like an
electric fence someone is turning on when they let their pet(s) out...

Here's the link to my FaceBook post on this:

Going through the docs Jim (KY9C) provided links to trying to ID it for
myself.  Don't want to start another RFI thread with drift, so feel free
to respond directly rather than to the reflector.

Please help!  Making it almost impossible to use my radio, and surely
makes me not WANT to use it!!

Clay ..

There's a type of electric fence commonly called a "weed burner" that
produces a continuous voltage rather than a +/- one second pulse.  The
concept is for the voltage to burn away any vegetation that grows into
contact with the fence.

Many years ago I had a neighbor that used a neon sign transformer (15 KV @
10 MA) to energize his fence.....

Let us know what you find ...
