Hello Wise and Esteemed Reflector,
I supposed in any lengthy marriage a selective ear or a biological mute
button, so to speak, becomes inevitable ...or so it would appear with my
aging K3, purchased in 2009.
Here are the rather perplexing symptoms:
After the K3 has been on a while all signals and noise disappear. The
radios shows consistent s1 or 2 white noise.
This is true on all bands, all modes and with the preamp, agc,
noiseblanker, etc on or off.
After turning the radio off for an hour or more, all signals return as
normal - only to disappear again after an indeterminate period of time.
I'm guessing that there is some failure that is affected by the
component in question heating up. I use this radio in receive almost
24/7 monitoring the bands. Perhaps she is just tired of listening for
me? ;-)
Any ideas what this might be? Stupid operator error is never out of the
question around here. I thought I would ask in here before bugging
Elecraft service in case I'm missing something easy.
TIA
