Could you describe what you are seeing - or, perhaps send a picture? I
had problems early on with my P3 and it was just a lousy patch cable
(between the K3 and the P3). I replaced the patch cable and all has been
fine since then.

Two possible causes for spurious signals on the P3 are

1) A bad coax jumper with a non-continuous shield (Elecraft had some at some point) , and

2) paint on the inside of the enclosure where the parts are joined.

Try a new jumper cable and make sure the mating surfaces of the enclosure are sanded clean.
