Update

I operated late last evening and the QSK thump stayed consistant all evening long. This morning, I turned the rig on and over a two hour period and two QSO's I did not experience any thump at all. I was using the same antenna as last evening and same external battery pack with a voltage of 10 volts.

Maybe it healed itself!  :)

Subject: [Elecraft] QSK Thump on KX-1
Date: Sun, 13 Jun 2004 15:14:07 -0500

My KX-1 is serial number 32. It was built this week and it is a lovely rig. I do have a problem with QSK thump. I am wondering if any of you have experienced this and I am interested in learning what you did to correct it.

It thumps when it goes from transmit to receive and the receive audio slowly comes back up to normal after about a half of second. It does not do it all the time, only after I have been sending for about a minute. Once it starts thumping, it will continue to thump until I cycle power. Sometimes that removes the thump, sometimes it doesn't. I have tried using three different antennas with and without an external tuner and nothing removes the QSK thump. I experience QSK thump on all bands.

Any ideas?

Thanks and 73
