K3: Zipper

[Ralph Parker]

The dreaded K3 'zipper while tuning' appeared suddenly yesterday in the
middle of the CQ VHF contest.
I've had #1823 since 2008, and never had (heard?) it before, so I didn't
pay attention to the comments and 'cures' for it. Silly me.
Can someone pse point me in the direction of a fix?
Nothing in Fred's book about it.

Ralph, VE7XF
