Check your light bulbs, especially if using CFL or LED.  I have had both 
emitting bad noise.  Shutting them off rid my whole station of the issue.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KX3: nearby noise post-mortem

I should have mentioned this specifically, but I was operating the KX3 strictly 
from batteries at the time.

Connecting a 13.8V source to it (one that was plugged into the house power) 
didn't really change whether the 'buzz' was present or not.

​The only thing that changed it was either unplugging the offending power 
supply, or de-energizing that circuit in the house (by tripping the breaker).​

​I guess it's not impossible that the thing was putting off a lot more energy 
than I thought, and I was picking up a lot of common-mode noise on the cable 
shield-- a lot more than I thought I would/should.​

​Good ideas though.​

Saying something doesn't make it true.  Belief in something doesn't make it 
real. And if you have to lie to support a position, that position is not worth 
supporting.
