Bob: Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I dont have a Kenwood cable for the Goldline mike thats the beauty of the switcher. My primary rig is an FT-1000MP MkV thus the Yaesu cable. The switcher allows that cable/mic to be used with multiple rigs, Yaesu or not.

Then add the other one. See when the hash shows up. This may help you narrow the problem down. -----Original Message----- From: James C.

My long microphone cable goes to a Multi-Switcher -> W2IHY Noise Gate/Equalizer -> Heil Goldline microphone. This completely disappears when I use a Kenwood hand mike direct to the K3. Thinking that this was a classic "RF on the line" problem, I clipped on multiple ferrite chokes with many turns on the cable coming from the K3, the Goldline mike, and in between the switcher on noise gate. This didn't even slow it down ! Hmmm. Interestingly when the PA relay is off at 8 watts, there is absolutely no hash. For now, I'll just use the hand mike on 6M (which requires a bit more mike gain) to keep a clean signal. Has anyone else noticed this ? Got a solution ? 73, Jamie WB4YDL _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
