Thanks to everyone, who offered a suggestion. David's thought appears to be the issue.
It seems you have pointed me in the correct direction - thank you. Disconnected K3 input to computer soundcard and the SSB noise / echo disappeared - now to fine tune. Thank you. - Tony, N3ME - 118 Ashwood Street Bethany Beach, DE 19930-9699 (302) 539-5638 Grid: FM28lm http://www.n3me.net Elecraft K3 # 2462 PVRC Member -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of david Moes Sent: Saturday, March 16, 2013 20:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Echo when transmitting I had a similar problem some time ago. had me baffled for a while If your computer is connected to line in and out try disconnecting them. If the problem disappears then check that the sound card used for the K3 audio by opening recording devices, then select the device you are using for the K3 and click properties. Under the Listen tab be sure that the box for "listen to this device" is not selected. If it is it can create feed back that has some delays from both the K3 (if monitor Normal) and latency withing the sound card itself to create this kind of echo. drove me nuts trying to figure it out. also I find I need to keep the monitor level down when using the headset, Yamaha CM500 here, otherwise there is some audio feedback On 3/16/2013 15:52, Tony McClenny wrote: > Ideas to correct the following would be appreciated - thank you in advance. > This is something new and I am perplexed. > > > > I am using a Heil Pro-Set Plus microphone/headphones (with elements HC4 & > HC5).
