K3 - spurious signal.

k6dgw
Getting started in the ARRL 10, I discovered a weakish signal on the P3
15 KHz below the VFO A cursor that moves when I tune A.  Ref level is
-125dBm, signal is about -110dBm.  I don't remember ever seeing it
before.  15KHz is suspicious, I don't see it on other bands.  Hope all
is OK with my K3.

Re: K3 - spurious signal.

Perhaps it's a full moon tonight, about the only explanation I can come
up with.  There were actually two of them, +/- 15KHz from where I was
tuned.  They were annoying since they moved when I tuned, and made
interesting pictures on the P3 waterfall since they were strong enough.
  I have never seen them before.

I'm going to do an SOHP CW in the ARRL 10, but I switched VFO's just to
see if there were any stations on phone.  Came back to CW for awhile,
and then realized the spurs were gone.  We'll see if they reappear
tomorrow morning.
