Scott,
I noticed the same thing this last weekend, having not been on 10 much
since getting the amp. But I found the noise to be quite variable. It
doesn't always occur. When it does, it appears suddenly, out of the
blue while operating.
Sometimes I could make it go away by turning off the power, waiting a
while, then restarting. I also got it to stop a couple of times by
sending a single "dit" while in operate mode. Quite strange. I'm trying
to get more data but it does seem to be an intermittent thing and hard
to replicate.
This noise didn't affect any band below 10m but appeared very
broad-banded above, using an SDR receiver.

I guess it just shows how little I've been on 10, but I've had the
KPA1500 for over a year now, and I just noticed that when I turn it
on, my noise floor on 10 goes up about 3 dB. (And that's from an urban
noise floor.) It's pretty flat over much of the band, not typical
switching supply noise. Has anyone else experienced this and found a
cure? (Other than using the old amp tube.)
