I was using SSB settings and had an antenna hooked up. I did not hear any noise
I put a dummy load on the antenna jack and used AM mode. I can hear noise as I turn the dial. I can just barely hear the noise when I turn on the preamp. And with any antenna hooked up I do not hear any noise at all as I turn the dial. Jim, do you hear this noise with an antenna hooked up? I do not, so as far as I am concerned it does not exist. However if you hear this noise when you have an antenna hooked up you need to talk some more to Elecraft support. 73, N2TK/NP2, Tony -----Original Message----- From: amstel78 [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, March 01, 2009 8:49 PM To: 'N2TK' Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Elecraft] Weird EMI issue... part deux Hi Tony, Interesting... what settings did you have the K3 set too when you did the test? Would it be possible for you to try without any antenna connected, and have the K3 set to AM? For me, it seems to be loudest on AM mode and also when the preamp is turned off. In the absence of any signal entering the receiver is when this noise is loudest. I've also tried reloading the software several times, from 2.78 to 2.82 and now 2.96 and haven't noticed any difference. If it is encoder pulses or something the synthesizer is doing around 5 MHz, then why can't other people recreate my problem... or why does it differ from rig to rig?? 73, James KC2UEE -----Original Message----- From: N2TK [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, March 01, 2009 1:43 PM To: 'James Sarte' Subject: RE: [Elecraft] Weird EMI issue... part deux Just checked. No added noise when tuning around 5MHZ. 73, N2TK/NP2, Tony #311 -----Original Message----- From: N2TK [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, March 01, 2009 1:36 PM To: 'James Sarte' Subject: RE: [Elecraft] Weird EMI issue... part deux Hi James, Just checked. I am using 2.82. Guess I got behind on the upgrades. The only thing I do around 5MHZ is 60M and these channels are in memory. So I would not be tuning around 5MHZ to check for this problem. Will try tuning around 5 later today and will let you know if I have this problem. I assume you tried reloading the firmware. 73, N2TK/NP2, Tony From: James Sarte [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, March 01, 2009 1:22 PM To: 'N2TK' Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Elecraft] Weird EMI issue... part deux Hi Tony, What software are you presently running? I fortunately never had this VFO encoder noise at 6m, but it is very noticeable around 5 MHz. I'm using 2.96 beta. 73, James KC2UEE -----Original Message----- From: N2TK [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, March 01, 2009 9:13 AM To: 'James Sarte'; 'Gregg' Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Elecraft] Weird EMI issue... part deux I had the encoder noise problem on 6M. It happened when I had upgraded the software (don't remember the version). I reloaded the software and the problem went away. It has been fine since.
