Hello Elecraft K3'ers, I only joined this Reflector yesterday, and already can see there's a huge amount of K3-related knowledge on here!
My K3 (2498) does a superb job but now has a problem concerning the loudspeaker audio that's getting ever more irritating. For the first few minutes after the K3 is turned on there is audio from the loud-speaker OK, but it's scratchy and distorted compared to what's being heard in the headphones (where the audio is perfect). After a few more minutes the audio in the loudspeaker gets ever more scratchy with the sound of "frying eggs" coming and going. After another ten minutes or so the audio from the loudspeaker stops completely (but continues fine in the headphones). Operationally this is not a problem because I always wear headphones for CW operating, but not being able to use the loudspeaker is annoying. Even after the loudspeaker has gone completely dead, it still appears to function for about half-a-second or so after the headphones are either plugged in or out of the front panel socket. Is there something perhaps wrong with my settings on the K3 that might be causing this? Or is there possibly something more sinister going on within my K3? 73 - Nigel G3TXF ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
