The subject should probably read, "Possible P3 Anomaly." "Anomaly" is a word used extensively at NASA to indicate anything from a burned out indicator lamp to the rocket landing pointy end down outside of Phoenix.

I have just tested it with and without a logging program running. It happens either way. The way I test it it to turn QSK and TX TEST on and send a series of groups of V's with the internal keyer at 25 wpm: VVV VVV VVV etc. It seems to happen from once every three groups to once in 8 or so. Usually the delays are about 1s. Sometimes they are longer.
