My K3 has intermittent noise in the receiver which I've localized to the transverter board. The noise is an even static, like background atmospheric noise, about S3 on the s-meter with occasional stronger bursts. This is with no antennas connected to the rig and nothing plugged into the transverter board.
Is this a known problem? It would probably not normally be noticed without disconnecting the antennas and waiting for it to occur. It seems to be an electrical contact problem as I can induce it or quiet it by loosening the board's panel screws and pushing on the jacks in one direction or another. I've tried to wipe the contacts by reinserting the board into the socket several times. Same with the TMP cable. But the noise has returned. I'm wondering if the electrical connection between the board's brass standoff bushing and the aluminum chassis is significant... 73, Drew AF2Z ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
