[Elecraft] K3S Transmit on LSB causes popup on USB

Several of us K3S users have noticed a brief intermittent popup on USB when on 80M LSB. It seems to have something to do with transmit ALC settings, but can't get rid of it. It also happens most with higher in frequency voice syllables. One operator switched from his KS3 to a 7300 and the USB

Re: [Elecraft] RFI issues

I still love the coffee maker and would buy it again. I just turn it off after the pot or pod is brewed. Chuck Jack Hawley KE9UW Sent from my iPhone, cjack > On Feb 20, 2020, at 12:12 PM, W8JH wrote: > > ke9uw wrote >> We bought a new Keurig coffee maker which does a pot or also the pods.
