I'm using amplified speakers too, and also plugged into the stereo speaker jack. I'm hearing far more than just one pop, but about 4 in total, one before the relays start switching and then the other pops/clicks over the next second or so, even with the AF gain on the radio turned down to minimum. Clearly I seem to have a more severe case than some, but I'm not worried about it, just curious. As Ramiro said, it doesn't match with a quality radio. If I had a motorbike though, I'd rather it sounded like a Harley than a Honda!!
Changing the subject completely, I just worked 5B4AIF on 21MHz ssb (very rare mode for me!) on 100mW output to a doublet. At least the mojo is still working!! 73, Stephen On 4 September 2011 20:17, Sam Morgan <[email protected]> wrote: > I hear clicks also > but they are directly from the K3 > like relays getting themselves set where they should be > > then I hear one pop from the > amplified stereo computer speakers > I have plugged into the stereo speaker jack in back > > > > GB & 73 > K5OAI > Sam Morgan > > On 9/4/2011 2:06 PM, Stephen Prior wrote: > > Hi Sam > > > > That does make a difference, but there is still a pronounced series of > clicks > > over the second or so it takes the K3 to boot up.
