Guy, I suppose it was about a year after I got my 5000A that this terrible QRN appeared. Of course, it is your responsibility to show that the source isn't actually inside your QTH and I did this by operating the rig from battery power and turning off the main breaker. I didn't get much

Yes, Bill, this is something that I've observed ever since the 3000 arrived to keep the 5000A from getting lonesome. And the fact that the two radios are governed by two very different computers and versions of windows led me to conclude that your comments are absolutely correct! Lee
