Well, I have undertaken a lot of work to address this problem:- 1. taken apart the P3 and doubly made certain that contact between the various chassis parts is good.
2. taken apart the K3 and paid particular attention to the contact areas around the rear panel and IF output area. 3. placed ferrites at both ends of the DC lead to the P3. 4. used the P3 on a separate power supply. 5. placed ferrites on the IF lead between the P3 and K3. The problem remains. In fact if anything it is a little worse this morning, but these are not lab measurements. So, Dxing on 2m with the P3 running is a non-starter for me.

Not if it is common mode current, coupled from signal common onto the V- wire. Go to my website and study the material on "The Pin One Problem." While it is written about audio interconnects, it applies directly here to the V- lead. http://audiosystemsgroup.com/publish.htm Shielding only matters with respect to DIFFERENTIAL circuit (that is, RFI between V+ and V-). 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ 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 __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5980 (20110324) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5980 (20110324) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com ______________________________________________________________ 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
