[Elecraft] K3 audio and rf inter reaction

2008-04-06 Thread David Cutter

Mode: cw, paddle sending string of dots or dashes any speed
power o/p: any, ie nil to max, dummy or antenna
filter: any, but more pronounced 1kHz
listening to side tone on phones or speaker

audio control: max
rf control: start low and raise until the artefact appears

or

rf: max
audio: low and raise until the artefact appears

at low speed the artefact sounds like a scraping noise riding on the string.  
High speed it's like an extra edge.

Anyone confirm this, offer an explanation?

I can't duplicate what you are describing here unless you are describing 
the normal noise I hear between dits and dahs when using full QSK. I 
hear no change at all in the sidetone at all. With FULL QSK, I do hear 
the the background noise between dits and dahs which one might call an 
artifact, but I think that is a normal thing with full QSK with a noisy 
band. Transmitting into the dummy load, the background noise is, of 
course,  much lower and so is the sound heard between dits and dahs.


Hope this helps!

The effect is also present with monitor at zero.  In this condition, a 
rushing sound is heard.  At a guess I would say it is digitally induced 
noise.
