Mystery interference on showing up on P3

[VE3WDM]

Good afternoon all, below is a link to a You-tube recording of my P3 picking something up and I am not sure what it is. Any input would be great.

Hi Mike,

It -may- be an ionospheric sounder.  Most "sweep" (move) faster than this
one, but it still may be one.  There are thousands of them in operation all
over the world.

My first thought too but these sounders are usually much faster and pure
tone and sound like a quick chirp on the audio.   I have heard similar
sounds to yours too  and followed them for a short while  but not lately
and definitely pre K3 days.   I don't have a P3 yet so I don't have the
visual.     I wonder how far it really goes if you were to follow it
down the band and one had the time and the general coverage it might be
interesting to see         oddities on the airwaves have always
interested me as well as annoyed me.

LGM's?  I didn't hear anything as it swept across your receive
frequency, but then, I'm almost deaf and I can't get YouTube up to
afterburner roar so I can hear it.  Sounders tend to move faster, but
who knows what is really out there.

Occasionally I get the signal shown to the right of the one you are swhowing about.  The wide low level one.  During my investigation I found:

1 - it moves down in frequency ever so slowly like the one you pointed out.
2 - moving the VFO does not change the position of the noise - internal?
3 - reach back and approach the IF signal coax between the K3 & P3 causes it to go away and not come back
4 - changed out the coax still happens - occasinally

It is wide band and I don't hear any noise when it crosses the VFO frequency.  But reaching back in the proximity of the linking coax causes it to go away.

Turning PC and other gear off has no effect.

What is it?  How do I stop it from occuring?

Hi All,
 
Does anyone integrated Bandmaster 3 with K3 via  ACC? I found some intructions on arraysolutions website here http://www.arraysolutions.com/images/K3%20SO2R%20System%20Cabling.pdf
But looks like is not 3 of bandmaster, at least I was not able to locate on PCB all strappings.
