In any case, doesn't sound like there's any particular Elecraft filtering wizardry I can engage. Given that they've repeatedly slipped K4 dates, now wondering if I should cancel my K4D. Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Scott AD6YT On Sun, Feb 2, 2020, 9:50 PM Tox wrote: > Yeah, all bands.

It is much like what I recall when the hydroponics shop was still in business a couple blocks away. But in that case the source was never on less than 15 min at a shot. Part of what is maddening about current is that duration is completely random, seeing blips during ft8 turnarounds, followed by

Scott, It would appear as though you are receiving noise from somewhere. Your steps have eliminated your house, but your neighbors may be the source. I don't have an easy answer, but I don't think it is in your KX3. To test, does it occur if you connect a dummy load? If not, it is coming

Well, it sounds like it is something outside your QTH. Unless you have some solar charge controllers for off grid power, or some other possible noise maker. Maybe go mobile in the neighborhood when the noise seems to be on for a while. If you have a directional antenna you might be able to get a

Lee, In addition to the MIC Gain and the WSJT POWER slider (misnamed because it is just another audio level control, you also have to deal with the computer soundcard audio level. It should be set for Line Level instead of speaker if that is possible, and that is one of the 3 audio controls

All resolved below, so please disregard sorry... I feel a bit lazy for not trying a bit harder before my previous post. Of course adding a custom SWT44 cat command to macros and adding the button in layout turned out reasonably simple. I switched to using HRD dde control with HDSDR instead

YES, I am using a KX3.   I use the "bar" on the right and set 20db of attenuation in the audio drive "chain". Mike gain is now set at aprox 40, rather than 3-4 (one step makes a BIG step)... I can set "ALC" correctly. 73, steve WB3LGC On 2/2/20 7:20 PM, AL7CR wrote: An absolutely classic

Go into the TX TEST mode and see if the issue still exist. If not, it’s an RFI issue. If not, back the MIC (Line gain) down to zero and start up watching the ALC scale. The computer level may be overdriving the radio. If so back the PWR slider on WSJT down. Bob, K4TAX Sent from my iPhone

An absolutely classic problem, I am the first to respond I am assuming only because the Super Bowl is on! I call this the "gain chain" problem. It depends a bit on how you are set up but try the following. Go into the menu on the K3S and turn down the LIN OUT value. I have mine set at 2 I
